18x - 9 = 723(6x - 3) = 72x = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the distributed property:

Apply the distributed property: 3/5 × 30x = 18x, 3/5 × 15 = 9Re-write the equation: 18x - 9 = 7218x - 9 = 72 is an option listed, so that's one of the answers.

See the other options:

Another option that looks like it could be the answer is 3(6x - 3) = 72Apply the distributed property like we did above, so it now looks like this: 18x - 9 = 72This is the same as what we got above, so it is also an answer.

Solve:

Add 9 to each side, so it now looks like this: 18x = 81Divide each side by 18 to cancel out the 18 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 4.5x = 45 is an option listed, so that's one of the answers.

I hope this helps!

i believe your answer is b.

good luck!
