Answer: x=−3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

15x+9=3(2x−6)

15x+9=(3)(2x)+(3)(−6)(Distribute)

15x+9=6x+−18

15x+9=6x−18

Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.

15x+9−6x=6x−18−6x

9x+9=−18

Step 3: Subtract 9 from both sides.

9x+9−9=−18−9

9x=−27

Step 4: Divide both sides by 9.

9x/9 = -27/9

x=−3

Answer:

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's work on the right side and use distributive property

15x+9= 3(2x-6)

15x+9= 6x-18

    -9         -9

15x= 6x-27

-6x  -6x

9x= -27

9x/9= -27/9

x= -3

Hope this helps!

A family plans a road trip from Fairbanks to Newbury. The distance between the two cities is 240 miles when traveling on the hig
alex41 [277]

Using proportions, it is found that the family will drive 482.8 km on the new route.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the family travels a distance of 125% of 240 miles, hence the distance is:

D = 1.25 x 240 = 300 miles.

Since there are are approximately <u>48.28 kilometers in 30 miles</u>, and 300/30 = 10, the distance in kilometers is given by:

D = 48.28 x 10 = 482.8 km.
