Answer the equation: 15 (62x+7) = 38 (24x+3)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

15 (62x + 7) = 38 (24x + 3)

Simplify:

(15) (62x) + (15) (7) = (38) (24x) + (38) (3) (Distribute)

930x + 105 = 912x + 114

Subtract 912x from both sides.

930x + 105 - 912x = 912x + 114 - 912x

18x + 105 = 114

Subtract 105 from both sides.

18x + 105 - 105 = 114-105

18x = 9

Divide both sides by 18.

18x / 18 = 9/18

x = 1/2

Answer:

x = 1 / 2
