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)

A: see below

B: The value of x that makes the equation true is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Start with the property of distribution and multiply 6 by the terms in parentheses

12x - 66 + 15 = 3x + 12

Combine like terms

12x - 51 = 3x + 12

Isolate the variable to one side of the equation by subtracting 3x from both sides, and then adding 51 to both sides:

9x - 51 = 12

9x = 63

Finish isolating x by dividing both sides by 9, which solves for x:

x = 7
