Question

Solve for x & show your work :)
5 ( 3x - 9) = 2 ( 6x + 9)

Answer 1

x = 21

Explanation:

Given

5(3x - 9) = 2(6x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

15x - 45 = 12x + 18 ( subtract 12x from both sides )

3x - 45 = 18 ( add 45 to both sides )

3x = 63 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 21
