Question

3(x - 5 ) - 12 = 2 (x - 6) +3

Answer 1

3(x-5)-12=2(x-6)+3
Use distributive property:
3x-15-12=2x-12+3
Simplify:
3x-3=2x-15
Use the commutative property:
3x+2x=-3-15
Simplify:
5x=-18
I mean I might be incredibly wrong. I’m super sorry if I was!

Answer 2

Answer:

X = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 5) - 12 = 2(x - 6) + 3

1.    3(x - 5)       2(x - 6)

     3x - 15        2x - 12

3x - 15 - 12 = 2x -12 + 3

2.   -15 + (-12)     -12 + 3

     -27                  -9

3x - 27 = 2x - 9

3.   3x - 2x    -9 + 27

          x             18

x = 18
