Given the equation 6(3 + 2x) = 54, which of the following equations are equivalent? 2) 18 + 12x = 54
3) 18 + 2x = 54 4) (3 + 2x)6 = 54
5) 54 = 18 + 12x 6) 3 + 6(2x) = 54

answer for this solution is 2,3,4.

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
