Solve for x

Question

9(2x + 15) = 45

Answer 1

To solve for x, we first need to distribute the 9 on the left side of the equation:

18x + 135 = 45

Next, we subtract 135 from both sides of the equation:

18x = -90

Finally, we divide both sides by 18 to solve for x:

x = -5

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -5.
