-3(-5x+2)+x-3=39
Solve the equation shown. You can use the sketch tools to show your work if needed.
Let's solve the equation step by step:
-3(-5x+2) + x - 3 = 39
First, let's distribute -3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
15x - 6 + x - 3 = 39
Now let's combine like terms:
16x - 9 = 39
Next, let's isolate the variable term:
16x = 39 + 9
16x = 48
Now, divide both sides by 16 to solve for x:
x = 48/16
x = 3
So the solution to the equation is x = 3.
