Given: x over 6 plus 2 equals 15
Prove: x = 78
x over 6 plus 2 equals 15 a. __________
x over 6 equals 13 b. __________
x = 78 c. ___________
(3 points)
To solve the equation x/6 + 2 = 15, we need to isolate the x term.
Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.
x/6 = 13
Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 6 to get rid of the fraction.
6 * (x/6) = 6 * 13
x = 78
Therefore, x = 78.
