Question

Hey everyone i need your help again what's 3(11x + 5) = 279

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use PEMDAS to solve algebraic equations:

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiplication/Division

Addition/Subtraction

First, we have parentheses in this equation, so distribute

3(11x) + 3(5) = 279

Next, because there are no exponents, multiply

33x + 15 = 279

To isolate x, subtract 15 from both sides

33x + 15 - 15 = 279 - 15

33x = 264

Then divide both sides by 33

x = 8
