Question

Solve the x
3(1.5x + 9)= -9

Answer 1

x = -8

Explanation:

3(1.5x + 9) = -9

Divide both sides by 3

1.5x + 9 = -3

Subtract 9 from both sides

1.5x = -12

Divide both sides by 1.5

x = -8

Answer 2

x = -8

Explanation:

3(1.5x + 9)= -9

=> 4.5x + 27 = -9

=> 4.5x = -9-27

=> 4.5x = -36

`= > (45x)/(10) = - 36`

`= > x = - 36 * (10)/(45)`

`= > x = - 4 * (10)/(5)`

=> x = -4 × 2

=> x = -8 (Ans)
