Solve 𝟑 𝟖𝒙 + 𝟏𝟐 − 𝟏𝟓𝒙 = 𝟐(𝟑 − 𝟑𝒙). Check your solution.
Step 1: Apply Distributive Property 24𝑥 + 36 − 15𝑥 = 6 − 6𝑥

Step 2: Combine like terms 24𝑥 − 15𝑥 + 36 = 6 − 6𝑥


9𝑥 + 36 = 6 − 6𝑥

Step 3: Move variable to one side 9𝑥 + 6𝑥 + 36 = 6


15𝑥 + 36 = 6

Step 4: Move Constants to the Other Side 15𝑥 = 6 − 36


15𝑥 = −30

Step 5: Divide by the coefficient 𝑥=−
