Question

The solution to -3(2 - 5x) = 3x + 12 is
1. -2.25
2. -1.625
3. 1.5
4. 3

Answer 1

1.5

Explanation:

i am not certain but this is how I got it

First distribute which gives you the -3 with 2 I switched them around so I did -3(-5x+2) and you will get 15x-6

Then the opposite of subtraction is addition so you add 6 to both sides so you add six to 12 and to 6 leaving you with 15x=3x+18 you then will subtract 3x from 15x and 3 leaving you with 12x=18 the divide the numbers

After you divide you get 3/2 then put it has a decimal and you get 1.5
