Question

Solve the following equation: 3(3x + 4) = 5(2x - 3)​

Answer 1

3(3x + 4) = 5(2x - 3)

9x + 12 = 10x - 15

9x - 10x = - 15 - 12

- x = - 27

x = 27

Answer 2

Question:

• Solve for x : 3(3x + 4) = 5(2x - 3)

Process:

To solve this equation to find the value of x, we have to first open the brackets of both sides (LHS and RHS). Then, we have to arrange the variables in one side and constants in one. Then, we have to solve it further.

Solution:

3(3x + 4) = 5(2x - 3)

After opening the brackets, we get:

9x + 12 = 10x - 15

After arranging variables and constants, we get:

9x - 10x = - 12 - 15

On solving further, we get:

- x = - 27

$\mathtt{\not{-}\;x = \not{-}\;27}$

x = 27

Hence, value of x = 27.
