MARK ME BRAINLIEST PLEASE

Answer 2

Simplifying

3x + -2 = 46

Reorder the terms:

-2 + 3x = 46

Solving

-2 + 3x = 46

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '2' to each side of the equation.

-2 + 2 + 3x = 46 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0

0 + 3x = 46 + 2

3x = 46 + 2

Combine like terms: 46 + 2 = 48

3x = 48

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 16

Simplifying

x = 16
