Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 17 . It&rsquo;s given that 2 x + 3 = 9 . Multiplying each side of this equation by 3 yields 3 2 x + 3 = 3 9 , or 6 x + 9 = 27 . Subtracting 10 from each side of this equation yields 6 x + 9 - 10 = 27 - 10 , or 6 x - 1 = 17 . Therefore, the value of 6 x - 1 is 17 .
