Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3(2x + -1) = 4x + 15
Reorder the terms:
3(-1 + 2x) = 4x + 15
(-1 * 3 + 2x * 3) = 4x + 15
(-3 + 6x) = 4x + 15
Reorder the terms:
-3 + 6x = 15 + 4x
Solving
-3 + 6x = 15 + 4x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 6x + -4x = 15 + 4x + -4x
Combine like terms: 6x + -4x = 2x
-3 + 2x = 15 + 4x + -4x
Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0
-3 + 2x = 15 + 0
-3 + 2x = 15
Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + 2x = 15 + 3
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 2x = 15 + 3
2x = 15 + 3
Combine like terms: 15 + 3 = 18
2x = 18
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 9
Simplifying
x = 9
