3x - 5 + 3x = 1x + 15 3x + 3x -1x = 15 + 5 5x = 20 5x/5 = 20/5 x = 4
-2
15=30-3x 15-30=3x -15=3x -15/3=x -5=x
If: -3x = 15 Then: x = -5 Because: -3 times -5 = 15
3x + 5 = 20 Subtract '5' from both sides 3x = 15 Divide both sides by '3' x = 5 The answer!!!!!
3x - 5 = -15 so 3x = -15+5 so 3x = 10 x = 10 over 3
3x - 5 + 3x = 1x + 15 3x + 3x -1x = 15 + 5 5x = 20 5x/5 = 20/5 x = 4
-2
If: 3x = 15 Then: x = 5
15=30-3x 15-30=3x -15=3x -15/3=x -5=x
x+5 = 3x+15 x-3x = 15-5 -2x = 10 x = -5
If: -3x = 15 Then: x = -5 Because: -3 times -5 = 15
3x + 5 = 20 Subtract '5' from both sides 3x = 15 Divide both sides by '3' x = 5 The answer!!!!!
3(5-x) = 27 15 - 3x = 27 15 - 3x + 3x = 27 + 3x 15 = 27 + 3x 15 - 27 = 27 - 27 + 3x -12 = 3x -4 = x To check 3(5- -4) ? 27 15 - -12 ? 27 15 + 12 = 27
-3x-5+5=20+5 -3x=-15 x=-5
2(3x + 4) = 6x + 8 3(x - 5) = 3x - 15 6x + 8 - 3x + 15 = 3x + 23
-3x + 5 = 20 -3x = 15 x = -5
