Capitolo 2, Problema 99

In Exercises 99–106, solve each equation. [(3 + 6)2 ÷ 3] × 4 = - 54 x

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
First, simplify the expression inside the parentheses: calculate \(3 + 6\).
Next, square the result from the first step: compute \((3 + 6)^2\).
Then, divide the squared result by 3: calculate \(\frac{(3 + 6)^2}{3}\).
Multiply the quotient by 4 as indicated: compute \(\left(\frac{(3 + 6)^2}{3}\right) \times 4\).
Set the expression equal to \(-54x\) and solve for \(x\) by isolating \(x\) on one side of the equation.
