Task 9 Here is an equation:
15(x-3)/5 = 3(2x-3)

Solve the equation by using the distributive property first.

Then solve without using the distributive property and

check your solution.

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

ima break it apart so it is easier to understand, going from left to right.

15(x-3)/5 you will distribute the 15 to the x and the -3

15x-45/5 you will divide 5 to both the 15x and the 45

3x-9 it will now be combined with the right side

now on the right side:

3(2x-3) you will distribute the 3 to the 2x and -3

6x-9 will now be combined with the left side

combining the left and right.

3x-9=6x-9 combine both 'x' es and constants

3x-6x=9-9 solve

-3x=0 divide

-3x=0 /-3 (all of it will be divided by 3 cuz what you do to one side, you gotta do to the other)

x=0

without distributive property

15(x-3)/5=3(2x-3) remove the parenthesis from the left side

3(x-3)=3(2x-3) distribute the 3 through the parenthesis on both sides

3x-9=6x-9 the rest is the same as in the combined section up above.

i hope this helps

i use my brain for prombles like this maybe you could try it

step-by-step explanation:

this may not be at all, but i use the same website you're using for school, and if i'm stuck doing one of these i try to look for it on the section.
