Uh anyone? and please explain

a) The solution is x = -9.

b) The solution is x = 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The given equation is 3(x+1)=2(x-3).

To solve this equation, distributive property is used.

The Distributive property :

It is done by multiplying the number outside the bracket with each terms present inside the bracket.

Now, the first step is to multiply 3 with each terms in (x+1) and multiply 2 with each terms in (x-3).

⇒ 3x+3 = 2x-6

Bring x terms on one side and constants on other side,

⇒ 3x-2x = -6-3

⇒ x = -9

b) The given equation is 2(5x-6)=3(3x+1).

To solve this equation,distributive property is used.

Now the first step is to multiply 2 with each terms of (5x-6) and 3 with each terms of (3x+1).

⇒ 10x-12 = 9x+3

Bring x terms on one side and constants on other side,

⇒ 10x-9x = 3+12

⇒ x = 15

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

sorry, i'm new here and i'm just trying to figure this out. try quizlet. rate 5* you!
