Question

Steps for solving 3x+18=54 are shown explain how step 1 helps solve the equation

Answer 1

The answer is x=12.

Explanation:

First, to solve this equation you need to isolate the x variable. To isolate the variable, you must, subtract the other term from both sides. Subtracting 18 from both sides, you are left with 3x = 36. Since 3 times x = 36, dividing both sides by 3 gets you, x=12.
