Answer :
Answer:
x = -18
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute: 3*5x = 15x ; 3*-6 = -18 ; 6*2x = 12x ; 6*-12 = -72
15x - 18 = 12x - 72
Add 18 to both sides: 15x = 12x - 54
Subtract 12x from both sides: 3x = -54
Divide both sides by 3: x = -18
Answer:
x= 17.666666...
Step-by-step explanation:
3(5x - 6) = 6(2x - 12)
(3 times 5x , 3 times -6) (6 times 2x, 6 times - 12)
15x-18 = 12x -72 (multiply insides)
-12x -12x (remove 12x from right side)
3x-19 = -72 (product)
+19 = +19 (add 19 left side to remove it)
3x = 53 (product)
x = [tex]\frac{53}{3}[/tex] (divide)
x= 17.666666... (answer)
x = 17.67 (if simplify)
