Answer:
x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3(x - 6) + 6 = 5x - 6 ← distribute and simplify left side
3x - 18 + 6 = 5x - 6
3x - 12 = 5x - 6 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
- 2x - 12 = - 6 ( add 12 to both sides )
- 2x = 6 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = - 3

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:
Factor out 3 from the first 2 terms:
Divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it: (-3 ÷ 2)² = 9/4
Add this inside the parentheses and subtract the distributed value of it outside the parentheses:
Factor the parentheses and combine the constants:
There exists a similar question where the link to the figure is given and the x in the figure is the radius of the circle with a given chord measuring 12 and is 7 units from the center. From the Pythagorean theorem,
x² = 7² + (12/2)²
The value of x from the equation is,
x = 9.22
Thus, the answer is the second choice.
