Solve 3+2(x-15)=783x

$$3 + 2 ( x - 15 ) = 783 x$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{27}{781}\approx -0.034571063$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-15.

$$3+2x-30=783x$$

Subtract 30 from 3 to get -27.

$$-27+2x=783x$$

Subtract 783x from both sides.

$$-27+2x-783x=0$$

Combine 2x and -783x to get -781x.

$$-27-781x=0$$

Add 27 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$-781x=27$$

Divide both sides by -781.

$$x=\frac{27}{-781}$$

Fraction \frac{27}{-781} can be rewritten as -\frac{27}{781} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{27}{781}$$
