Q. Solve.

\newline

3(3 x-4)=42

\newline

Answer:

x=

Distribute Terms: Distribute the $3$ across the terms inside the parentheses. $\newline$ We need to multiply $3$ by each term inside the parentheses ( $3x$ and $-4$ ). $\newline$ Calculation: $3 \times 3x = 9x$ and $3 \times -4 = -12$ $\newline$ So, the equation becomes $9x - 12 = 42$ .
Add $12$ : Add $12$ to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with the variable $x$ . We want to get $x$ by itself on one side of the equation, so we need to get rid of the $-12$ . Calculation: $9x - 12 + 12 = 42 + 12$ This simplifies to $9x = 54$ .
Divide by $9$ : Divide both sides of the equation by $9$ to solve for $x$ . Now that we have $9x$ , we need to divide by $9$ to find the value of $x$ . Calculation: $\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{54}{9}$ This simplifies to $x = 6$ .
