An equation is shown below: 6(2x – 11) + 15 = 3x + 12 Part A: Write the steps you will use to solve the equation, and explain each step. (6 points) Part B: What value of x makes the equation true? (4 points)

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

6(2x-11)+15=3x+12

1) Distribute 6 (distributive-property)

12x - 66 + 15 = 3x + 12

12x - 51 = 3x + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides; what ever you do to one side, you need to do to ther other.

12x - 63 = 3x

Subtract 3x from both sides.

9x - 63 = 0

Add 63 to both sides.

9x = 63

Divide by 9 to getx by itself.

63/9 = 7

x = 7
