Basic Mathematics QUESTION #2826
Question 1
If \(5(x - 3) = 2(x + 6)\), find \(x\).
  • 7
  • 9
  • 11✔️
  • 13
Correct Answer Explanation
\(5x - 15 = 2x + 12\). \(5x - 2x = 12 + 15\). \(3x = 27\). \(x = 9\). Wait: \(5(9-3)=5\times6=30\) and \(2(9+6)=2\times15=30\) ✓. So \(x=9\), which is option index 1 (option_2).
