SOLVE THIS: 6(2x+3) =42

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute 6 to all terms within the parenthesis.

6(2x + 3) = 12x + 18

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

12x + 18 = 42

First, subtract 18 from both sides.

12x + 18 (-18) = 42 (-18)

12x = 24

Isolate the variable x. Divide 12 from both sides.

(12x)/12 = (24)/12

x = 24/12

x = 2

2 is your answer for x.

Answer:

$x=\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{3-5x}=\sqrt{x+2}\\Square\:both\:sides\\\left(\sqrt{3-5x}\right)^2=\left(\sqrt{x+2}\right)^2\\\mathrm{Expand\:}\left(\sqrt{3-5x}\right)^2:\quad 3-5x\\\mathrm{Expand\:}\left(\sqrt{x+2}\right)^2:\quad x+2\\3-5x=x+2\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:3-5x=x+2:\quad x=\frac{1}{6}\\x=\frac{1}{6}\\\mathrm{Verify\:Solutions}:\quad x=\frac{1}{6}\space\mathrm{True}\\\mathrm{The\:solution\:is}\\x=\frac{1}{6}$
