Answer: Distributive Property, follow PEMDAS (the first is parenthesis)

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Distribute 2 into (x-3). 15 - x = 2x + 6.
  2. Add x on both sides. 15 = 3x + 6.
  3. Subtract 6 on both sides. 9 = 3x.
  4. Divide 3 on both sides. x = 3

Multiply each of the numbers by a ten to a power that they both become whole numbers.

0.67 * 10^2 = 67
0.3 * 10^2 = 30

Divide as usual.

67 / 30 = 2 \frac{1}{3}

So, the answer is 2 1/3.
