First your going to distribute the 3
3(-3x+15)
-9x+45
27=6x-9x+15
27=-3x+15
Then you’ll minus 15 from 27
27-15=12
12=3x
X=4
Answer:
STEP ONE: 2x
STEP TWO: 5=X (should be the final answer)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi Lasagna!
So basically, this is extremely simple. In order to "solve" that equation, the x has to be on one side. The easiest way to do this would be to take the 2x to the other side. If you want the 2x to go to the other side, you need to subtract it (since it is already positive, therefore it <em>needs </em>to cancel out). Once you do that, you must always do the same thing to the other side: subtract 2x from 3x. That should get you one x there, which you can just write as x if it's just one. Then you're all set! :D
Answer:
102 is the correct answet
Answer:
x=-4 and x=-16
Step-by-step explanation:
The beetle ate everything except the front cover of volume one and the back cover of volume four.
The thickness of the front cover of volume one and the back cover of volume four = 0.5 cm + 0.5 cm = 1 cm.
Total distance covered by the books = 4 x 8cm = 32 cm.
Therefore, total distance travelled by the beetle is 32 - 1 = 31 cm.
