Question

15(x - 9) – 2(x - 12) + 5(x + 6) = 0​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

15(x−9)−2(x−12)+5(x+6)=0

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

15(x−9)−2(x−12)+5(x+6)=0

(15)(x)+(15)(−9)+(−2)(x)+(−2)(−12)+(5)(x)+(5)(6)=0(Distribute)

15x+−135+−2x+24+5x+30=0

(15x+−2x+5x)+(−135+24+30)=0(Combine Like Terms)

18x+−81=0

18x−81=0

Step 2: Add 81 to both sides.

18x−81+81=0+81

18x=81

Step 3: Divide both sides by 18.

18x/18=81/18

x=9/2

Answer 2

Answer:

$15(x - 9) – 2(x - 12) + 5(x + 6) = 0 \\ 15x - 135 - 2x + 24 + 5x + 30 = 0 \\ 18x - 81 = 0 \\ 18x = 8 1 \\ x = \frac{81}{18} = \frac{9}{2}$
