Please solve the equation. 15x+24=8(10+3x)-2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solution:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Given 15 x + 24 = 8(10 + 3x)-2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Simplify the above equation, we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 15 x + 24 = 80 + 24 x – 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Now get all the numbers to one side, we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 24 + 2 – 80 = 24 x – 15 x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " - 54 = 9x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Divide by 9 in the above equation, we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " (-54 / 9) = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " -6 = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " On solving the above equation, we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " x = -6
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
