Answer:

Explanation:

6(3x+3) = 7(x+16)

18x+18=7x+112

-7 on both sides

11x+18=112

-18 on both sides

11x/11 = 94/11

x=8.5

Using the cross product property on this proportion gives us the following equation:

6 (3x + 3) = 7 (x + 16)

Use the distributive property

18x + 18 = 7x + 112

Subtract both sides by 7x

11x + 18 = 112

Subtract both sides by 18

11x = 94

Divide both sides by 11

x = 94/11

This fraction is already fully simplified and cannot be simplified further. This should be your answer.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
