Question 3 (Essay Worth 10 points)
(07.03 MC)
An equation is shown below:
6(2x - 11) + 15 = 3x + 12
Part A: Write the steps you will use to solve the equation, and explain each step. (6 points)
Part B: What value of x makes the equation true? (4 points)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Part A: First you distribute the 6(2x-11) and simplify. Then, you get the variables on the same side by subtracting 3x. Next, you do inverse operations by adding 51 to both sides and dividing 9 from both sides

Part B: x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing you should do is distribute out the 6(2x-11) to get 12x-66+15=3x+12. then you simplify to get 12x-51=3x+12. Next you need to get both variable on the same side so just to keep positive number to make it easier you will subtract 3x from both sides to get 9x-51=12. now it is simple algebra where you add 51 to both sides of the equation to get 9x=63. Finally, you divide both sides by 9 to get x=7
