Question

What is 3(3x + 5) = 96?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

3(3x + 5) = 96

Divide both sides by 3.

3x + 5= $\frac{96}{3}$

Divide 96 by 3 to get 32.

3x + 5= 32

Subtract 5 from both sides.

3x = 32 − 5

Subtract 5 from 32 to get 27.

3x = 27

Divide both sides by 3.

$x = \frac{27}{3}$

Divide 27 by 3 to get 9.

$x = 9$

Hope it helps and have a great day! =)

Answer 2

Answer: x = 9

3(3x + 5) = 96          

9x + 15 = 96             Distribute

9x = 81                      Minus 15

x = 9                          Divide 81/9

Hope this helps by showing what I did to get to each part!
