Question

Solve the equation and checkSolve the equation and check the result. 3(x - 3) = 85(2x +1) the result. 3(x - 3) = 85(2x +1)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$3(x - 3) = 85(2x + 1) \\ = > 3x - 9 = 170x + 85 \\ = > 170x + 85 = 3x - 9 \\ = > 170x - 3x = - 9 - 85 \\ = > 167x = - 94 \\ = > x = \frac{ - 94}{167}$

Hence your answer is

${\boxed{{\frac{-94}{167}}}}$

Answer 2

$3(x - 3) = 85(2x +1) \\ 3x - 9 = 170x + 85 \\ 3x - 170x = 85 + 9 \\ -167x = 94 \\ x = \frac{-94}{167}$
