Answer:
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
x + 5(x + 3) = 27 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
6x + 15 = 27 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )
