Question

Solve for x: 3x − 24 = 81
57/3
105/3
57
105

Answer 1

`x=(105)/(3)`

Explanation:

To solve for x, we need to get all our constants on one side of the equal sign and all our variables on the other side of the equal sign.

`3x-24=81`

`3x-24+24=81+24`

`3x=81+24`

`3x=105`

`(3x)/(3)=(105)/(3)`

Therefore, the answer is:
`x=(105)/(3)`

Answer 2

To solve for x, we need to get all our constants on one side of the equal sign and all our variables on the other side of the equal sign.

3x - 24 = 81

3x -24 + 24 = 81 +24

3x = 81 + 24

3x = 105

3x/3 = 105 / 3

x = 105 / 3
