24 = 3x x = 8
Why?
This is the algebraic version.
1) Make the 3x into just into the variable by dividing 3 by 3 which is one and a variable is always understood algebraically as one.
24 = 3x
--- = 1 or x
3
2) Do the same on both sides on if you divide by 3 on the right side, do it to the left as well.
24 = 3x
8 = --- --- = 1 or x
3 3
x = 8
24-3x=-27-3x=-24-273x=24+273x=51x=17
3x=24 x=8
3x-10 equals 24; add 10 to both sides 3x equals 34; divide by 3 x=11.333 or 11 1/3
The answer is dividing. 3x=24 3x/3=24/3 x = 8
3x + 6 = 30 Therefore, 3x = 24 x = 24/3 x = 8
24-3x=-27-3x=-24-273x=24+273x=51x=17
3x=24 x=8
3x-10 equals 24; add 10 to both sides 3x equals 34; divide by 3 x=11.333 or 11 1/3
3 x ? =24
The answer is dividing. 3x=24 3x/3=24/3 x = 8
24
3x + 6 = 30 Therefore, 3x = 24 x = 24/3 x = 8
If x equals 8, then 3x equals 24. 24-x would equal 16.
3x - 24 = 3Add 24 to each side of the equation:3x = 27Divide each side by 3 :x = 9
7x+6 = -3x-24 7x+3x = -24-6 10x = -30 x = -3
3x+5x-2x = 24 6x = 24 x = 4
32-5x=3x+8 32-5x-8=3x+8-8 24-5x=3x 24-5x+5x=3x+5x 24=8x x=24/8=3
