Question

What value for x will make the equation true?

−3 ( 7x − 5 ) = 87 + 3x
A. −17/4
B. -3
C. 4
D. 17/3

Answer 1

C . 4

Explanation:

step 1 : -3 multiply with inside of the ( 7x-5 )

= -21x + 15

step 2 : then it will be 21x + 15 = 87 + 3x

step 3 : switch between the odds into like this

21x - 3x = 87 - 15

step 4 : subtract it all

18x = 72

step 5 : bring 18 to the other side

x = 72/18

step 6 : to find the ans of x is just calculate them

x = 72 ÷ 18

= 4

Or you can do like these ⬇️

-3 ( 7x - 15 ) = 87 + 3x

21x + 15 = 87 + 3x

21x - 3x = 87 - 15

18x = 72

x = 72/18 or 72÷18

x = 4
