Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!
3(2x -5)= 1
And explain

Answer 1

x = 8/3

Explanation:

3 ( 2x - 5 ) = 1

→ Expand out bracket

6x - 15 = 1

→ Add 15 to both sides to isolate 6x

6x = 16

→ Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x

x = 8/3

Answer 2

x = 8/3

Explanation:

distribute the 3 with everything in the parantheses

3(2x-5) --> 6x -15 = 1

move the 15 to the right side of the equation

6x = 16 and then divide by 6

x = 8/3
