Question

Solve 3(x − 7) = 2(x − 3). Write a reason for each step.

hintHint:

using the additive property and subtraction property ,division property on both sides .solve for x.

The correct answer is: x = 15


    Ans:- x = 15
    Given ,3(x − 7) = 2(x -3).
    By left distributive property 3x - 21 = 2x - 6
    Adding 21 on both sides by additive property of equality both sides remain equal.
    3x - 21 + 21 = 2x - 6 + 21
    3x = 2x + 15
    Subtract 2x from both sides by subtraction property of equality both sides remains equal.
    3x - 2x = 2x +15 - 2x
    x = 15
    ∴x = 15
