Question 86153
3x-5(3x-7)=2(x+9)+45 First, lets get rid of parens

3x-15x+35=2x+18+45  Next, we will subtract 35 and also 2x from both sides. This will get the unknowns on one side of the equation and the numbers on the other

3x-15x+35-35-2x=2x-2x+18+45-35  now we will collect like terms 

-14x=28  divide both sides by -14


x=-2-------------------------------ans

CK

3(-2)-5{3(-2)-7}=2(-2+9)+45

-6-5(-6-7)=2(7)+45

-6-5(-13)=14+45
-6+65=14+45
59=59

Hope this helps----ptaylor
