Solve and check answer 3(4-5x)=3(4x+3)

Hey there!

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

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

12 - 15x = 12x + 9

-15x + 12 = 12x + 9

SUBTRACT 12x to BOTH SIDES

-15x + 12 - 12x = 12x + 9 - 12

SIMPLIFY IT!

-27x + 12 = 9

SUBTRACT 12 to BOTH SIDES

-27x + 12 - 12 = 9 - 12

CANCEL out: 12 - 12 because it gives you 0

KEEP: 9 - 12 because it helps solve for the x-value

NEW EQUATION: -27x = 9 - 12

SIMPLIFY IT!

-27x = -3

DIVIDE -27 to BOTH SIDES

-27x/-27 = -3/-27

CANCEL -27/-27 because that gives you 1

KEEP: -3/-27 because it helps solve for the x -value

NEW EQUATION: x = -3/-27

SIMPLIFY IT/REDUCE the FRACTION!

x = 1/9

Therefore, your answer is: x = 1/9

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
