Answer 2

okay, this is easy, u got this!

first try to get all the x's on one side of the equation. Then the integers on the other side.

To do that, we first have to distribute the numbers outside of the parentheses.

-3(x-3) becomes -3x + 9. You get this simply by multiplying the x and -3 by the -3 on the outside. Simple!

do the same thing for the other parentheses. 8(x-3) becomes 8x - 24....now put these together.... the equation looks like....
-3x + 9 + 8x - 24 = x - 9.........now do what i said about get the "like's" all on one side....so put all integers on the left, and all x's on the right of the equal sign.... you get........
9 + 9 -24 = x + 3x - 8x
after subtracting and some simple division final answer is 1.5 or 3 / 2

hope that helped

Answer 3

–3(x – 3) + 8(x – 3) = x – 9

distribute
-3x + 9 + 8x - 24 = x - 9

combine like terms
5x - 15 = x - 9

subtract x for both sides
4x - 15 = -9

add 15 for both sides
4x = 6

divide 4 for both sides
x = 3/2

Answer 5

-3(x-3) + 8(x-3) = x-9

Distributive property

-3x + 9 + 8x - 24 = x - 9

Add like terms

5x - 15 = x - 9

Isolate x's

4x = 6

Simplify

x = 3/2 = 1.5

Answer 6

First multiply out all the terms. You get:

-3x +9 +8x -24 = x-9.

Now collect them and you get

5x -15 = x - 9

Get all the terms on the correct sides and you get

4x = 6

so x = 6/4 or 3/2.

Answer 7

First, apply the distributive property:

-3x + 9 + 8x - 24 = x - 9

Then combine terms:

5x - 15 = x - 9
4x = 6
x = 6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5

Answer 8

She is wrong!

-3x + 9 + 8x - 24 = x - 9
5x - 15 = x - 9
4x = 6
x=6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5
please mark me as the best answer if i really gave you one!

Answer 9

I believe it is x=3/2

Answer 10

-3x + 9 + 8x - 24 = x - 9
5x - 15 = x - 9
4x = 6
x = 6/4
x = 3/2

Answer 11

–3(x – 3) + 8(x – 3) = x – 9
-3x+9+8x-24=x-9
5x-15=x-9
-15 -15
5x=x-6
6x=-6
divide
x=1
