Answer:
d) x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x - 6) + 3 = -9
<em>open the parenthesis</em>
3x - 18 + 3 = -9
3x - 15 = -9
<em>add 15 to both sides of the equation</em>
3x - 15 + 15 = - 9 + 15
3x = -9 + 15
3x = 6
<em>divide both sides by 3</em>
3x/3 = 6/3
x = 6/3
x = 2

B is the correct answer. hope this helped:)
Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
