Question

3(x - 5) + 2 (3x + 1) = 45 solve for x

Answer 1

6.444.... or 6&4/9

Explanation:

3(x-5)+2(3x+1)=45<------distributive property

3x-15+6x+2=45 <------combine like terms

9x-13=45 <------addition property of equality

9x=58 <------division property of equality

x=6.444...

Answer 2

The value of the equation for x is
`x=(58)/(9)` .

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

`3(x - 5) + 2 (3x + 1) = 45`

Open the parentheses.

`3x - 15 + 6x + 2 = 45`

Now add the like terms.

`3x +6x- 15+ 2 = 45`

`9x- 13 = 45`

Add 13 from both sides.

`9x- 13+13= 45+13`

`9x= 58`

Divide both the sides by 9.

`(9x)/(9)=(58)/(9)`

`x=(58)/(9)`

Hence, the value of the equation for x is
`x=(58)/(9)` .
