Question

Solve for x 6 (8X minus 1) equals 9 (x + 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = $\frac{8}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6(8x - 1) = 9(x + 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

48x - 6 = 9x + 18 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

39x - 6 = 18 ( add 6 to both sides )

39x = 24 ( divide both sides by 39 )

x = $\frac{24}{39}$ = $\frac{8}{13}$
