Solve for x. 3(x- 4)=15x

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x−4)=15x

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x−4.

3x−12=15x

Subtract 15x from both sides.

3x−12−15x=0

Combine 3x and −15x to get −12x.

−12x−12=0

Add 12 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

−12x=12

Divide both sides by −12.

x=  

−12

12

Divide 12 by −12 to get −1.

x=−1

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
