Question

What is equalvient to 3x+3(5x-18)=108

Answer 1

Hey there!!

The given equation :

... 3x + 3 ( 5x - 18 ) = 108

... 3x + 15x - 54 = 108

... 18x - 54 = 108

... 18 x = 162

This is equivalent to the above question.

... The solution would be 162 / 18 = 9

Hope my answer helps!!

Answer 2

An equivalent to 3x+3(5x-18)=108 would be 3x + 15x - 54 = 108, after multiplication on 3(5x-18).  This, in turn, would be 18x = 162, whose solution is 9.
