Question

Hello, I really struggle with math and I was wondering if you could help me with the following problem please? It will be much appreciated and I will give brainliest to the answer that explains it to make it the easiest. Thanks

Answer 1

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

3X+2(4+6X)=113

=> 3X +2x4+2x6X=113

=> 3X+8+12X=113

=> 3X+12X=113-8

=>15X=105

=>X=7

Answer 2

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x + 2(4 + 6x) = 113

3x + (4 * 2 + 6x * 2) = 113

3x + (8 + 12x) = 113

Reorder the terms:

8 + 3x + 12x = 113

Combine like terms: 3x + 12x = 15x

8 + 15x = 113

Solving

8 + 15x = 113

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + 15x = 113 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + 15x = 113 + -8

15x = 113 + -8

Combine like terms: 113 + -8 = 105

15x = 105

Divide each side by '15'.

x = 7

Simplifying

x = 7
