Answer 1

Find the value of x in the following:3(2x-1) =5(3x-15)

Its gotta be 8

Answer 2

Given;

Find the value of x in the following:3(2x-1) =5(3x-15)

Solution;

• Simplify both sides of the equation. Then subtract 15x and add 3 on both sides. Lastly, divide both sides with –9 to determine the answer.

$\\ \sf = 3(2x-1) =5(3x-15)$

$= \sf(3)(2x)+(3)(−1)=(5)(3x)+(5)(−15)$

$= \sf6x+−3=15x+−75$

$= \sf6x−3=15x−75$

$= \sf6x−3− \blue1 \blue5 \blue x=15x−75 - \blue1 \blue5 \blue x$

$= \sf−9x−3=−75$

$= \sf−9x−3+ \red3=−75+ \red3$

$= \sf - 9x = - 72$

$= \sf \frac{ - 9x}{9} = \frac{ - 72}{ - 9}$

Answer;

$= \sf \: \green x \green= \green 8$
