Question

Solve the following 7x + 3 = 24 x=?

Answer 1

We have to solve the equation for x. The equation is:

`7x+3=24`

Let's subtract "3" from both sides to get:

`\begin{gathered} 7x+3=24 \\ \text{ -3 = -3} \\ ------- \\ 7x=21 \end{gathered}`

To isolate and solve for x, we divide both sides by 7, shown below:

`\begin{gathered} 7x=21 \\ (7x)/(7)=(21)/(7) \\ x=3 \end{gathered}`

The correct answer is x = 3
