<span>3(x + 5) = 2(3x + 18)
Use the distributive property:
3(x)+5(3)=2(3x)+18(2)
Simplify:
3x+15=6x+36
6x+36=3x+15
3x+36=15
3x=-21
x=-7

Check answer:
3(-7+5)=2(-21+18)
3(-2)=2(-3)
-6=-6

Hope this helps :)

Find the 12th term of the sequence -15,-9,-3, 3

Reika [66]

First term (a) = -15
common difference(d)= -9-(-15)
= -9+15=6
So,
12th term(a12)= a +(n-1)d
= -15+(12-1)×6
= -15 + 11×6
= -15+66
= 51
