Question

what is x:6-3(3x-5)= -24

Answer 1

$6-3(3x-5)=-24$

To solve x:

1- Use distributive property to remove the parenthesis:

$\begin{gathered} a(b\pm c)=ab\pm ac \\ \\ 6-9x+15=-24 \\ 21-9x=-24 \end{gathered}$

2- Subtract 21 in both sides of the equation:

$\begin{gathered} 21-21-9x=-24-21 \\ -9x=-45 \end{gathered}$

3- Divide both sides of the equation into -9:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-9}{-9}x=\frac{-45}{-9} \\ \\ x=5 \end{gathered}$Then, x is 5
