Solve for x.

Question

3(-4x-3) =-27
(1 point)
0x=-2
• x= -3
0 x=2
0x=3

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 3(-4x-3) = -27 \), we start by simplifying the left side:

1. Distribute the 3: \[ 3 \times -4x + 3 \times -3 = -12x - 9 \] This gives us: \[ -12x - 9 = -27 \]

2. Next, add 9 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \): \[ -12x - 9 + 9 = -27 + 9 \] This simplifies to: \[ -12x = -18 \]

3. Now, divide both sides by -12 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{-18}{-12} = \frac{18}{12} = \frac{3}{2} \]

Thus the correct answer for \( x \) is: \[ x = 1.5 \]

However, this value doesn't match with the options provided. Let's check the provided choices:

• \( 0x = -2 \) (not valid - no 'x' term)
• \( x = -3 \)
• \( 0x = 2 \) (not valid - no 'x' term)
• \( 0x = 3 \) (not valid - no 'x' term)

None of the listed options match \( x = 1.5 \). If you intended the choices to match, please check the original equation or choices again.

But if we must pick from the given choices, none of them are valid based on the computation shown.

Answer 2

Do you see x 1.5? Right there

Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion. Based on the calculation, the solution I derived is indeed \( x = 1.5 \) or \( \frac{3}{2} \), which is not in the options you provided.

The choices were:

• \( 0x = -2 \)
• \( x = -3 \)
• \( 0x = 2 \)
• \( 0x = 3 \)

It seems that none of the options given correspond to the correct solution of \( x = 1.5 \). If you need further assistance or clarification on this problem, please let me know!

Answer 4

Choose one of these Solve for x.
3(-4x-3) =-27
(1 point)
0x=-2
• x= -3
0 x=2
0x=3

Answer 5

Let's solve the equation again:

Given: \[ 3(-4x - 3) = -27 \]

Step 1: Distribute the 3

\[ -12x - 9 = -27 \]

Step 2: Add 9 to both sides

\[ -12x - 9 + 9 = -27 + 9 \] \[ -12x = -18 \]

Step 3: Divide by -12

\[ x = \frac{-18}{-12} = \frac{18}{12} = \frac{3}{2} \approx 1.5 \]

Now, looking at the options you provided:

• \( 0x = -2 \)
• \( x = -3 \)
• \( 0x = 2 \)
• \( 0x = 3 \)

None of these options match \( x = \frac{3}{2} \) or approximately \( 1.5 \).

Since I previously misunderstood your request for choosing from those options, the closest "x" value is not applicable since \( x \) should equal \( 1.5 \). Therefore, it seems that the correct answer is not listed among the given choices.

If you have other options or if there's additional context, feel free to share!

Answer 6

Choose one of these

0x=-2
• x= -3
0 x=2
0x=3

Answer 7

Given the equation \(3(-4x-3) = -27\) and after solving it, we found that \(x = \frac{3}{2}\) (or 1.5).

However, since you are asking to choose one of the provided options:

• \(0x = -2\)
• \(x = -3\)
• \(0x = 2\)
• \(0x = 3\)

The only option that includes \(x\) directly is \(x = -3\). Since the question appears to be looking for a choice, I will select:

\( x = -3 \)

Please note that this does not reflect the solution to the equation, as \(x = -3\) is not the correct answer to the equation we solved. It is simply the selection from the options provided.
