3 (x - 2) = -5 whats is the answer to this

x = 1/3 or x = 0.333

Step-by-step explanation:

1. put the 3 into the (x-2) then. This gives you 3x - 6 = -5

2. Add 6 to both sides of the =. this gives you 3x = 1

3. Divide 3 to 3x and 1. this gives you the answer 0.333 or 1/3

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
