Question

Solve the following equation. a)3x-2 =46

Answer 1

$3x - 2 = 46 \: \: \\ 3x \: = 48 \\ x \: = \frac{48}{ 3} = 16$

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of x is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$3x-2 =46$

To find:- The value of the expression,

To solve this expression, we have to use the transposition method:

As we have,

=> $3x-2 =46$

Add both sides by $2$, we get

=> $3x-2 +2=46+2$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $3x=46+2$

Add the numbers, we get

=> $3x = 48$

Divide both sides by $3$,

=> $x = 16$

Hence, the required solution is 16.
