equation 1.5(8x)=300
It tells me to simplify the left side of the equation and solve.
Can you help?
i think you would do 1.5 time 8x
1.5(8x)=300
Multiply: 1.5 * 8x = 12x
12x = 300
x = ??
Thanks.
Thank you.
divide both sides by 1.5 and you get 8x=200 then divide by 8 on both sides.
Of course! To simplify the left side of the equation, you need to multiply 1.5 by 8x. This gives us:
1.5 * 8x = 12x
Now that we have simplified the left side, we can rewrite the equation as:
12x = 300
To solve for x, we need to isolate it by getting rid of the coefficient of 12. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 12:
12x / 12 = 300 / 12
This simplifies to:
x = 25
So the value of x that satisfies the equation 1.5(8x) = 300 is x = 25.
