Solve [(x+6)+(2x+3)]8/2=96

$$\frac { [ ( x + 6 ) + ( 2 x + 3 ) ] 8 } { 2 } = 96$$

Solve for x

$$x=5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 2.

$$\left(x+6+2x+3\right)\times 8=96\times 2$$

Combine x and 2x to get 3x.

$$\left(3x+6+3\right)\times 8=96\times 2$$

Add 6 and 3 to get 9.

$$\left(3x+9\right)\times 8=96\times 2$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 3x+9 by 8.

$$24x+72=96\times 2$$

Multiply 96 and 2 to get 192.

$$24x+72=192$$

Subtract 72 from both sides.

$$24x=192-72$$

Subtract 72 from 192 to get 120.

$$24x=120$$

Divide both sides by 24.

$$x=\frac{120}{24}$$

Divide 120 by 24 to get 5.

$$x=5$$
