Question

What is 3x-15+6x+2=45​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=58/9 fraction x=6 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 6.44 (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, combine like terms:

3x + 6x + 2 - 15 = 45

(3x + 6x) + (2 - 15) = 45

(9x) + (-13) = 45

9x - 13 = 45

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and is:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, add 13 to both sides:

9x - 13 (+13) = 45 (+13)

9x = 45 + 13

9x = 58

Next, divide 9 from both sides:

(9x)/9 = (58)/9

x = 58/9

x = 6.44
