Asked by jarazombie22

Answer (3)

6(2x-8)+3=15 12x-48+3=15 Distribute the 6 12x-45=15 Add (-48) and (3) 12x=60 Add 45 to both sides x=5 Divide both sides by 12

The value of x in the given **equation ** 6(2x-8)+3=15 using BODMAS rule is 5.25
Two algebraic **expressions **separated by an equal symbol in between them and with the same value is called an equation.
Example = 2x +4 = 12 here, 4 and 12 are **constants **and x is variable
The equation is ;
6(2x-8)+3=15
On simplifying , we get ;
12x - 48 = 15
Taking known **quantity **to one side and unknown to the left side, we get ;
12x = 63
**Dividing **both side by 12 we get
= 12 63 ​
In **decimal **form we get
