I need HELP!!!
if you choice was 36, yes, you were wrong.
Show me what steps you took to get 36.
Thx. He's right.
To solve the equation 2x - 3 = 15, we want to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. Here's how you can do it:
1. Start with the given equation: 2x - 3 = 15.
2. To isolate the variable x, begin by eliminating the constant term on the same side of the equation. In this case, add 3 to both sides of the equation: 2x - 3 + 3 = 15 + 3 becomes 2x = 18.
3. Now, we need to eliminate the coefficient of x. Since 2 is multiplied by x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2. This gives us: 2x/2 = 18/2, which simplifies to x = 9.
Therefore, the solution to the equation 2x - 3 = 15 is x = 9.
yes, it is...
adding 3 ... 2x = 18
dividing by 2 ... x = ?
