First distribute -3 into the parenthesis. you will get 6x-3x-24=9. Then subtract 6x and 3x because they're like terms. you will get 3x -24=9. After that add 24 by both sides and get 3x=33. this step is easy just divide by both sides and you will get x.

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

6x + -3(x + -8) = 9

Reorder the terms:

6x + -3(-8 + x) = 9

6x + (-8 * -3 + x * -3) = 9

6x + (24 + -3x) = 9

Reorder the terms:

24 + 6x + -3x = 9

Combine like terms: 6x + -3x = 3x

24 + 3x = 9

Solving

24 + 3x = 9

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-24' to each side of the equation.

24 + -24 + 3x = 9 + -24

Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0

0 + 3x = 9 + -24

3x = 9 + -24

Combine like terms: 9 + -24 = -15

3x = -15

Divide each side by '3'.

x = -5

The sum of 7 consecutive numbers is 105. What are the numbers? Please show how to do it and steps!
Colt1911 [192]

We need to create an equation in order to solve this problem.


Let x = the smallest number

x+1 = next  number

x+2 the following number

x+3

x+4

x+5

x+6

So, we add those.

x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4+x+5+x+6=105

7x+21=105

7x = 84

x = 12

So the numbers are

12,13,14,15,16,17,18
