Answer:

x=8.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can remove the parenthesis by multiplying the 3 to everything in them. In this case, it would be 3x-15=9. You can start by adding 15 to both sides, which give us 3x=24. You can now divide 3 by both sides. The right side is 24/3 which is 8 and the left side is just x. x=8.

- Key -

Black tiles = x
Purple tiles = x+50
Yellow tiles = 5x

-

Total = x + x+50 + 5x = 400
⇒ 7x + 50 = 400
⇒ 7x = 400-50 = 350
⇒ x = 350/7
⇒ x = 50

Black tiles = 50
Purple tiles = 50+50 = 100
Yellow tiles = 5 x 50 = 250
