Question 183231


{{{15x-3(3x+4)=6}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{15x-9x-12=6}}} Distribute.



{{{6x-12=6}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{6x=6+12}}} Add {{{12}}} to both sides.



{{{6x=18}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(18)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{6}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=3}}} Reduce.
