Answer :

Given that the equation is 6(2x-11) + 15 = 21

Explanation-

Step 1 - In this, we will multiply by 6 inside the bracket following the distributive property.

12x - 66 + 15 = 21

Step 2 - Now, we will subtract 66 from 15

12x - 51 = 21

Step 3 - Now, we will shift 51 to the other side of the = sign and its sign will get changed and then we will add them as

12x = 21 + 51

12x = 72

Step 4 - Here we will divide 72 by 12 and we will have the required answer.

x = 72/12 = 6

Therefore, the final answer is 6
