Question

What is the solution to 34x+95 = 3(14x +9)

Answer 1

The given expression is

$34x+95=3(14x+9)$

First, we use the distributive property.

$34x+95=42x+27$

Then, we subtract 42x on each side.

$\begin{gathered} 34x-42x+95=42x-42x+27 \\ -8x+95=27 \end{gathered}$

Now, we subtract 95 on each side.

$\begin{gathered} -8x+95-95=27-95 \\ -8x=-68 \\ \end{gathered}$
