Solve the equation 3(x+4.5x ) = 36. Explain your reasoning THOROUGHLY. If you are stuck use the diagram.

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the distributive property and get

and we can add like terms

and know we divide both sides by 16.5

and doing the dvision we get that

well there are two answers for that.

1: you need 120 ones then that will equal up to 120.

2: you could also do one 100 and 2 tens.

those are the answers that i have thought of.

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
