the answer should be the third option
Answer:
x = -4 ;
Step-by-step explanation:
6(x+3)=2(2x+5)
Distribution
6x+18 = 4x + 10
Subtract 4x on both sides
2x+18 = 10
Subtract 18 on both sides
2x = -8
Divided by 2
x = -4
Now if we have to substitute the value of X
6(-4+3)=2(-8+5)
Parenthesis first
6(-1) = 2(-3)
-6 = -6

Answer is -1/3
you would divide both sides by 18 to get the variable on its own and that would leave you with -6/18 and so you have to simplify it by dividing the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor (6) to get your remaining simplified fraction of -1/3
D) you just multiply the numerator and denominator by 6 to get an equivalent fraction
