Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
10
Depending on what you're supposed to do, the three could either mean to distribute it into the equation, giving you
either
(3*2015) or (3*20)*(3*15) or (3*20) +/- (3*15)
Or an example of factoring where they took 3 out of 60 and 45.
There are no instruction on what to do in this question.
Subtract 17from both sides
32-17=x
Simplify 32-17 to 15
X=15
When the number is out of parenthesis it means it is multiplying the number between the parenthesis
example - 3 ( 28 + 32 ) => 3 ( 60)
which means 3 * 60 = 180
Note:- you cannot multiply the numbers when they are 3 ( 28 + 32 ) because you have to use PEMDAS ( order of operation ) to solve the problem where P = parenthesis , E = exponents, M = multiplication, D = divide , A = addition , S = subtract.
