Question

Solving the equation 2x+3(3x-5)=51 for x gives x = 6 what is the complete solution

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x+3(3x-5)=51 \\x = 6\\2x +9x-15 =51\\11x =51+15\\11x = 66\\\frac{11x}{11} =\frac{66}{11} \\x = 6$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3(3x - 5) = 51

Expand the brackets.

2x + 9x - 15 = 51

Add like terms.

11x - 15 = 51

Add 15 on both sides.

11x = 51 + 15

11x = 66

Divide both sides by 11.

x = 66/11

x = 6
