Question 466196: 7(5x+9)+(x+9)=12 find solution set
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
7(5x + 9) + (x + 9) = 12
35x + 63 + x + 9 = 12 {used distributive property and took out parentheses}
36x + 72 = 12 {combined like terms}
36x = -60 {subtracted 72 from both sides}
x = -60/36 {divided both sides by 36}
x = -5/3 {reduced}
