Question

Solve for x. Type a numerical answer in the space provided. Do not use spaces in your answer. For example, if the answer is x = 15, type 15. 4 (x - 3) = x + 9 0 a0

Answer 1

Answer: 34

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation: $4 (x - 3) = x + 9 0$

To find: $x$

First we use distributive property in the left sides of the equation , we get

$4\times x-4\times 3= x+90\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4x-12=x+90\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4x-x=90+12\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x=102\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{102}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=34$

Hence, x= 34.
