Question

Which value of x makes the equation 3(x-6) = 8x-3(3x+7) true?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 18  = 8x - 9x - 21

3x - 18 = -x - 21

4x - 18 = -21

4x = -3

x = -3/4

answer is A

Answer 2

Answer: OPTION 3. x=-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is basically asking for to solve the equation.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Given

3(x-6)=8x-3(3x+7)

Distributive property on both sides

3x-18=8x-9x-21

Combine like terms on the right side

3x-18=-x-21

Add x on both sides

4x-18=-21

Add 18 on both sides

4x=-3

Divide 4 on both sides

x=-3/4
