Question

17. If 3x + 24 = 30, then x =​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 24 = 30

Solving

3x + 24 = 30

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

→  Add '-24' to each side of the equation.

3x  + 24  - 24 = 30 - 24

→ Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0

0 + 3x = 30 - 24

3x = 30 - 24

→ Combine like terms: 30 - 24 = 6

3x = 6

→ Divide each side by '3'.

x = 2

→ Simplifying

x = 2
