Question

Solve for x: +(4x + 15) = 24
solve

Answer 1

Answer is 2.25

Explanation:

+(4x + 15) = 24

Distribute 1 into 4x and 15

4x + 15 = 24

Subtract 15 from both sides

4x = 9

Divide both sides by 4

x = 2.25

Check it by substituting 2.25 for x

+([4 · 2.25] +15) = 24

Distribute 1 into 4, 2.25, and 15

[4 ·2.25] + 15 = 24

Multiply 4 and 2.25

9 + 15 = 24

Add 9 and 15

24 = 24

I hope this helps

Answer 2
