Question
Solve the equation
x=23
Alternative Form
x=1.5
Evaluate
5(3x−3)×2−44=−29
Multiply the terms
10(3x−3)−44=−29
Move the expression to the left side
10(3x−3)−44−(−29)=0
Subtract the numbers
More Steps

Evaluate
−44−(−29)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−44+29
Add the numbers
−15
10(3x−3)−15=0

Evaluate
10(3x−3)−15
Expand the expression
More Steps

Calculate
10(3x−3)
Apply the distributive property
10×3x−10×3
Multiply the numbers
30x−10×3
Multiply the numbers
30x−30
30x−30−15
Subtract the numbers
30x−45
30x−45=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
30x=0+45
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
30x=45
Divide both sides
3030x=3045
Divide the numbers
x=3045
Solution
x=23
Alternative Form
