Question

3x - 6 = 18
solve for x

Answer 1

The given equation is

`3x-6=18`

First, we add 6 on each side.

`\begin{gathered} 3x-6+6=18+6 \\ 3x=24 \end{gathered}`

Then, we divide both sides by 3.

`\begin{gathered} (3x)/(3)=(24)/(3) \\ x=8 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the solution to the equation is 8.
