We have an equation with parentheses. To make our lives easier, first get rid of the parentheses. We do this by using the distributive property.

It is used like this: a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Use the distributive property on the left-hand side.

3(x - 1) = 6
3x - 3 = 6

Now we have an equation that is easier.

The x variable is being multiplied by 3 and added to -3.
Reverse all of these operations with their inverse operation.

3x - 3 = 6
3x = 9 <--- I got rid of the -3 term by using the inverse of subtraction. Addition.
                  And I did the same for both sides to keep the equation true.
x = 3 <--- The inverse of multiplication is division.
                So, I divided both sides by 3.

So, x is equal to 3.

What is 8x + 10 ≤ 51 please show work
Vanyuwa [196]

\huge\fbox{Hi~there!~:)}

Let's solve this inequality! :)

Let's start by subtracting 10 from both sides:

\rm{8x\leq 51-10}

\rm{8x\leq 41

Now, divide both sides by 8:

x\leq \displaystyle\frac{41}{8} (Answer)

Decimal form:

\rm{5.125}

I hope you find it helpful.

Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
