Simplifying
3x + 2(4 + 6x) = 113
3x + (4 * 2 + 6x * 2) = 113
3x + (8 + 12x) = 113
Reorder the terms:
8 + 3x + 12x = 113
Combine like terms: 3x + 12x = 15x
8 + 15x = 113
Solving
8 + 15x = 113
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + 15x = 113 + -8
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + 15x = 113 + -8
15x = 113 + -8
Combine like terms: 113 + -8 = 105
15x = 105
Divide each side by '15'.
x = 7
Simplifying
x = 7
Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this the first thing we do is to use the distributive property: 3x+12x+8=113. Next, we combine the like terms: 3x+12x+8=113 then we simplify 15x+8=113. Then we subtract 8 from both sides of the equation: 15x=105. Then we divide by 15 to get the answer: 15x/15=105/15 which would give us: x=7.
