Answer is 2.5
…….

3(17x-6.5) = 108 distribute the numbers in parentheses

51x -19.5 = 108.. add 19.5 to both sides

51x = 127.5

Divide both sides by 51
X = 2.5 is the answer

Answer:

( c ) x = 2.5

Explanation:


3(17x - 6.5) = 108

divide both side of the equation by 3...


17x - 6.5 = 36


17x = 36 + 6.5


17x = 42.5


x = 2.5

hence the value of x is 2.5...
