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 6(2x-11)+15=3x+12 distribute the 6: 12x-66+15=3x+12 add -66 and 15: 12x-51=3x+12 subtract 3x from both sides: 9x-51=12 add 51 to both sides: 9x=63 divide 9 from both sides: x=7
