Given the numerical equation:
3(5x - 8) = 6x + 39
Solve.
Solution:
In order to solve the given numerical equation, we simply need to distribute first 3 to each value inside the parenthesis.
= 3(5x - 8) = 6x + 39
15x - 24 = 6x + 39
Transpose -24 and 6x to their opposite sides, hence it must be taken to note, that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
15x - 6x = 39 +24
9x = 63
Divide both sides by 9 in order to determine the value of x.
9x/9 = 63/9
x = 7
Final answer:
x = 7
