Answer:
[tex]3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] - 3( - 5x + 2) + x - 3 = 39[/tex]
[tex]15x-6+x-3 = 39[/tex]
[tex] 16x-9= 39[/tex]
[tex] 16x= 39+9[/tex]
[tex] 16x=48[/tex]
[tex]x = 48-16[/tex]
[tex]x = 3[/tex]
x = 3
Given
- 3(- 5x + 2) + x - 3 = 39 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
15x - 6 + x - 3 = 39
16x - 9 = 39 ( add 9 to both sides )
16x = 48 ( divide both sides by 16 )
