Using the distributive property an equivalent expression would be 9z-54
You would do 2x-3+x+3x-15=360
combine like terms which then gives you
5x-18=360 then you would add 18 to both sides giving you
5x=378
and then you divide by 5 on both sides which will then give you your answer x=?
Answer:
So 3x = x +8 is your equation
We adjust the equation to isolate the x and we end up with 2x = 8
We have to isolate the x even more to turn it into x = 4.
So our final answer is x = 4
