Explanation:
Given Equation:
15 (x-4) -5 (x-9) -7 (x+4) = 15
To find:
The value of x
STEP 1: Multiply the value into the bracket
==> Multiply 15 into the first bracket
==> (15x-60)- 5 (x-9) -7 (x+4) = 15
==> Multiply -5 into the second bracket
==> (15x-60) + (- 5x + 45) -7 (x+4) = 15
==> Multiply -7 into the Third bracket
==> (15x-60) + (- 5x + 45)+( -7x-32) = 15
STEP 2: seperate x cofficient and constan
==> Remove the brackets
==> (15x-60) + (- 5x + 45)+( -7x-32) = 15
==> 15x -60 -5x +45 -7x -32 =15
==> Seperate the constant and x coefficient
==> 15x-5x-7x-60+45-32 =15
==> 10x-7x-60+45-32 =15
==> 3x-15-32 =15
==> 3x-47 =15
STEP 3 : Solve the equation to find x
==> 3x = 15 +47
==> 3x= 62
==> x =62/3
==> x = 20.66
