Question

What is the solution to the following equation?

4(3x - 6) + 15 = 27
O2
03
04
05​

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

Pull out like factors : 3x - 6 = 3 • (x - 2)

step 2 : (12 • (x - 2) + 15) - 27 = 0

Pull out like factors : 12x - 36 = 12 • (x - 3)

step 4 : 12 • (x - 3) = 0

Solve : x-3 = 0

x = 3

Answer 2

Answer:
`x=3`

Simplify both sides of the equation

`(4)(3x)+(4)(-6)+15=27(Distribute)\\12x+-24+15=27`

`(12x)+(-24+15)=27`(Combine Like Terms)

`12x+-9=27`

Add 9 to both sides

`12x-9+9=27+9\\12x=36`

Divide both sides by 12

`12x/12=36/12\\x=3`
