Q:

Solve for x. 23=79(6x−36)+9 Enter your answer in the box.

Accepted Solution

A:
23=79(6x-36)+9
23= 79(6x)+79(-36)+9     
23=474x+ -2844+9
23=(474x)=(-2844+9)
23= 474x+ -2835
23= 474x-2835

Step 2: Flip the equation
474x-2835= 23

Step 3: Add 2835 to both sides
474x - 2835 = 23
         +2835   +2835

474x=2858

Step 4: Divide both sides by 474

474x/474 = 2858/474

x=1429/237
