Question

Solve
3(2x + 9) = 24

Answer 1

-0.5

Explanation:

3(2x+9)=24

Distribute the 3

3(2x)+3(9)=24

6x+27=24

Subtract both sides by 27

6x= -3

Divide both sides by 6

x= -0.5

Hopes this helps

Answer 2

x = -1/2

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ 3(2x + 9) = 24

Now the value of x will be,

→ 3(2x + 9) = 24

→ 6x + 27 = 24

→ 6x = 24 - 27

→ 6x = -3

→ x = -3/6

→ [ x = -1/2 ]

Hence, the value of x is -1/2.
