Answer:

a=6

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the value of a you need to simplify the equation first. so...

3(a+3)-6=21 (you remove the bracket first)

3a+9-6=21

3a+3=21 (you collect the like terms then)

3a=21-3

3a=18 (then you both divide both sides by 3 to find the value of a)

a=18/3

a=6

to check your answer substitute 3 instead of a

3(a+3)-6=21

3(6+3)-6=21

3(9)-6=21 (according to BODMAS since multiplication comes first you multiply 3 with 9 before subtracting it from 6.)

29-6=21

21=21

Answer:6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(a + 3) - 6 = 21

3(a + 3) = 21 + 6

3(a + 3) =27

a + 3. = 27 ÷ 3

a + 3. = 9

a. = 9 - 3

a. = 6

Solve for x.<br> 8(5 + x) = 11(9 + x)<br> Answer as a fraction.
7nadin3 [17]

distribute the 8 to the 5 and x. then distribute 11 to 9 and x.

(40+8x)=(99+11x)

-11x -11x

-3x+40=99

-40 -40

-3x= 59

divide three on both sides

x=59/-3

final answer x=-59/3

Can someone explain this? (This is algebra 1)
12345 [234]

Answer:

x=12

Triangle abc and Def are congruent but different sizes. The original triangle has side values of 2, 6 and 5. Then the shape is dilated by an unknown factor, giving it the side lengths of 4, x, and 10. Looking at the increase in side lengths we see that theres an increase of 2 to 4, or multiplying by 2 and an increase from 5 to 10, or multiplying by to. So now that we know there was a dilation of 2, we multiply 6 by 2 to find 12
