By following BODMAS, evaluate the inner brackets first, collecting terms together as you go:
B - 3(B - 4(1 - B)) = 54
→ B - 3(B - 4 + 4B) = 54
→ B -3(5B - 4) = 54
→ B - 15B + 12 = 54
→ -14B = 42
→ 14B = -42
→ B = -3
Check by substituting back into the original equation:
B - 3(B - 4(1 - B))
→ -3 - 3(-3 - 4(1 - -3))
→ -3 - 3(-3 - 4(4))
→ -3 - 3(-3 - 16)
→ -3 - 3(-19)
→ -3 + 57
→ 54 as required.

How do you solve the following equation 54A minus 524 equals 340?
54A-524=340. Add 524 to both sides. 54A=824. Divide by 54. There's the answer.
How do you guess and check to find the solution set of the equation x-54?
You cannot. x - 54 is an expression not an equation. An expression has no solution set since there is nothing to solve.
B is the midpoint of A and C If BC equals 3x2 and AC equals 54 find the value of x Show all work to receive credit?
since BC=1/2 AC you take half of 54 then solve the equation. 3x^2=54/2 3x^2=27 x^2=9 x=3
How do you solve this equation 9n equals 54?
54 / 9 = n n = 6
A boy divides 54 by 9 to solve an equation for y one side is 54 write the equation?
Assuming this is all he does to solve the equation, it would look like this: 9y = 54 He solves this by dividing 54 by 9: y = 54/9 y = 6

What is the value of X 2X plus 33x-54?
2x + 33x - 54 35x - 54 We can not find x with the information given. You need to equate somethingto your equation. If your equation equals 0 then... 0=35x-54 35x=54 x=1.543 IF your equation equals x then... x=35x-54 -34x=-54 x=1.588
