Question
$3(x + 2) = 15$
✓
Answer
$3 (x + 2) = 15$ Dividing both sides by $3$,
we get $\frac{3(\text{x}+2)}{3}=\frac{15}{3}$ $(x + 2) = 5$
Subtracting $2$ from both sides, we get $x + 2 - 2 = 5 - 2 x = 3$
Verification: Substituting $x = 3$ in $L.H.S.,$
we get $L.H.S. = 3 (x + 2) = 3(3 + 2) = 3(5) = 15,$ and $R.H.S. = 15$ $L.H.S. = R.H.S.$ Hence, verified.
