Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
0.75x+3=6(x−3)
0.75x+3=(6)(x)+(6)(−3)(Distribute)
0.75x+3=6x+−18
0.75x+3=6x−18
Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.
0.75x+3−6x=6x−18−6x
−5.25x+3=−18
Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.
−5.25x+3−3=−18−3
−5.25x=−21
Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.25.
−5.25x/-5.25 = -21/-5.25
Answer: x=4
This is a simple formula:(a-b)*(a+b)= a^2-b^2
And it goes like this for your example: (a-1)*(a+1)=a*a+a-a-1*1=a^2-1^2=a^2-1
