Answer 1

x = 2

Explanation:

Solve the equation for x, and enter your answer below.

x+ 5(x + 3) = 27​

x + 5x + 15 = 27

6x + 15 = 27

6x = 27 - 15

6x = 12

x = 12 : 6

x = 2

-----------------------

check

2 +5(2 + 3) = 27

2 + 10 + 15 = 27

27 = 27

the answer is good

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

x + 5(x + 3) = 27 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

x + 5x + 15 = 27

6x + 15 = 27 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 2
