Question

15(x-4)-2(x-2)+5(x+6)=0

Answer 1

15x-60-2x-4+5x+30=0

15x-2x+5x=30 +64=0
18x=94=0

x=94/18=0
x=27/9=0
x=3=0
x=3

Answer 2

If you are solving for "x" then X= 13/9, 1 4/9, or 1.4 repeating.

Work is below:

15(x-4)-2(x-2)+5(x+6)=0/Distribute 15, -2, & 5 through parenthesis.

15x-60-2x+4+5x+30=0/Collect like terms.

18x-26=0/Calculate the sum or difference.

18x=26/Move constant to the right side & change its sign.

18x divided by 18=26 divided by 18/Divide both sides of the equation by 18.

x=13/9, 1 4/9, or 1.4 repeating.
