1. What value of x makes the equation 12x - 15 = 6 - 3x true?
Answers
2 * 4 + 7 = 15
Because 2 * 4 = 8
8 + 7 = 15
2x + 7 = 15
Get 2x by itself
Take away 7 from both sides.
2x = 8
Divide both sides by 2, or multiply both sides by 0.5.
x = 4.
Your answer is C.)
[tex]\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{x = 2}}}}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\sf{2x + 14 = - 6 + 12x}[/tex]
Move 12x to left hand side and change it's sign
⇒[tex]\sf{2x - 12x + 14 = - 6}[/tex]
Move 14 to left hand side and change it's sign
⇒[tex]\sf{2x - 12x = - 6 - 14}[/tex]
Collect like terms
⇒[tex]\sf{ - 10x = - 6 - 14}[/tex]
Calculate
⇒[tex]\sf{ - 10x = - 20}[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by -10
⇒[tex]\sf{ \frac{ - 10x}{ - 10} = \frac{ - 20}{ - 10} }[/tex]
Calculate
⇒[tex]\sf{x = 2}[/tex]
Hope I helped!
Best regards!!
The answer is 4. 2(4)+7=15.
This app is broken I need help on my own question
x=1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
add 3x to both sides to get 15x-15=6
Then add 15 to both sides to get 15x=21
Then divide by 15 on both sides to get x=1.4
x = 7/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out equation
12x - 15 = 6 - 3x
Step 2: Add 3x to both sides
15x - 15 = 6
Step 3: Add 15 to both sides
15x = 21
Step 4: Divide both sides by 15
x = 7/5
