Question

Solve the equation. Show your work.
6x-15=3(4x+3)

Answer 1

`6x - 15 = 3(4x + 3)`
then you distribute the three
so you would do

`3 * 4x = 12x`

`3 * 3 = 9`

`6x - 15 = 12x + 9`
then you get the variables on the same side

`- 6x`
on each side so you would have 6x on the right side then you subtract the nine so you would have -24 on the left side so now you have

`- 24 = 6x`
then you divided by 6 which the answer equals

`x = - 4`

Answer 2

6x-15=3(4x+3)
Distribute the three to the parentheses
6x-15=12x+9
Transfer the 6 over to the 12 by subtracting it
-15=6x+9
Subtract 9 from 15
-24=6x
Then divide the six by the -24
X=-4
