Please learn to spell A L G E B R A.
15(x+3)=75
15x + 45 = 75
15x = 30
x = ?
X=2
Is that right Ms. Sue? I will spell Algebra correctly from now on thanks for your help.
Yes. x = 2.
You're welcome. :-)
To solve the equation 15(x + 3) = 75, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Simplify the equation by using the distributive property on the left side of the equation:
15 * x + 15 * 3 = 75
15x + 45 = 75
Step 2: Move the constant term (45) to the right side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides:
15x + 45 - 45 = 75 - 45
15x = 30
Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient (15) to isolate the variable x:
(15x) / 15 = 30 / 15
x = 2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 15(x + 3) = 75 is x = 2.
