Question

Solve for x. 3(2x - 3) + 3 = 24

Answer 1

Hey :)

x= 5

First use distributive property to multiply 3 with 2x and 3 with -3
6x-9 + 3 = 24

Find like terms, which are -9 and 3
6x-6 = 24

Take the -6 to the other side, now it’s positive
6x = 24+6

Now add them together
6x= 30

Now take 6 to the other side, it becomes division
x = 30/6
x = 5

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

`\text{3(2x - 3) + 3 = 24}`

`\text{Step \: 1 \: : \: Distribute \: 3 \: through \: the \: parentheses\: }`

`\text{ ➳\: 3 * \: 2x - 3 * 3 + 3 = 24}`

`\text{➳ \: 6x - 9 + 3 = 24}`

`\text{Step \: 2 : \: Subtract \: 3 \: from \: 9}`

`\text{➳ \: 6x - 6 = 24}`

`\text{Step \: 3 : Add \:6 \: on \: both \: sides}`

`\text{➳ \: 6x - 6 + 6 = 24 + 6}`

`\text{➳ \: 6x = \: 30}`

`\text{Step \: 4 : Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 6}`

`\text{➳ 6x / \: 6 \: = \: 30/ \: 6}`

`\text{➳ \: x = 5}`

`\text{The \: value \: of \: x \: is \: 5}`
