What value of x would make 3x-9 equals to 39

Answer 1

x=16

Explanation:

3 times 16 equals 48 minus 9 equals 39

Answer 2

16

Explanation:

To solve the equation you must isolate the variable.

3x-9=39

So first, add 9 to both sides

3x-9+9=39+9

3x=48

Then divide both sides by 3

3x/3=48/3

x=16
