Question

Solve for the value of x.

Answer 1

x=3

Explanation:

I believe the answer would be x is equal to 3.

If you first create the equation you get 3x*4= 13

There are 3 green 'x' so that is 3x. The four orange boxes can be represented as 4, and the 13 orange boxes can be represented as 13.

Then, you solve the equation.

3x * 4 =13

Subtract 4 from both sides.

3x= 9

And simplify.

x=3.

I hope this helps! (:

Answer 2

x = 3

Explanation:

x + x + x could also be written as 3x, and count the number of "1's" given on both sides:

3x + 4 = 13

=> subtract 4 on both sides of "="

3x = 9

=> Divide by 3 on both sides of "="

x = 3

Hope this helps!
