Mathematics

First, let's use the distributive property on 3(a+5)

3(a + 5) = 3a + 3(5) = 3a + 15

Now, let's go back to the inequality

3(a+5) < 9

Use the distributive property

3a + 15 < 9

Subtract both sides by 15

3a < -6

Divide both sides by 3

a < -2

That's your answer.

Have an awesome day! :)

Solve for x <br>3(x - 2) = 6x - 12<br>​
nalin [4]

Answer:

The answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how I got it:

3(x - 2) = 6x - 12

Multiply 3 times x and 3 times 2, this is what you would get

3x - 6 = 6x - 12

Then, subtract the lowest x with the bigger X, this way you would have x on one side:

3x - 6 = 6x - 12

-3x        -3x

This is what you should have after this:

-6 = 3x - 12

Now, to get the variable (letter that represents a number) by itself, you have to add 12 to both sides like this:

-6 = 3x - 12

+12        +12

You would get this:

6 = 3x

Finally, you have to get x by itself, so you have to divide 3 on both sides like this

6/3 = 3/3 x

That's why, your answer is 2
