Question

Solve the equation below.

3(17x – 6.5) = 108
A. x = –1.5
B. x = 2.0
C. x = 2.5
D. x = 5.2

Answer 1

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 2

( 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...
