An equation is shown below 9 parentheses 3x minus 16 parentheses + 15 equals 6x - 24

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

9 (3x-16) + 15 = 6x - 24

First distribute the 9 by multiplying it by 3x and - 16

27x - 144 + 15 = 6x - 24

Than combine like terms (-144+15)

27x - 129 = 6x - 24

Next, subtract 6x on both sides.

21x - 129 = - 24

After that, add 129 on both sides.

21x = 105

Lastly, divide both sides by 21

x = 5

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

9 (3x-16) + 15=6x-24

27x-144+15=6x-24

27x-129=6x-24

21x=105

x = 5
