Question

Solve the following equation and verify your answer
3(x + 6) = 24

Answer 1

3(x + 6) = 24

= 3x + 18 = 24

= 3x = 24 - 18

= 3x = 6

= x = 6/3

= x = 2

Verification :-

3(2 + 6) = 24

= 6 + 18 = 24

= 24 = 24 (Verified)

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to find the value of the expression.

            Given data:-$3(x=6)=24$ .

             To find:- The value of the expression.

            Solution:-

• Here, we will use the below following steps to find a solution using the transposition method:

• Step 1:- we will Identify the variables and constants in the given simple equation.

• Step2 -then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.

• Step 3:- Transpose or shift the term on the other side to solve the equation further simplest.

• Step 4:- Simplify the equation using arithmetic operation as required that is mentioned in rule 1 or rule 2 of linear equations.

• Step 5:- Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation. By using the transposition method. we get,

                 $3(x+6)=24\\=3x+18=24\\3x=24-18\\3x=6\\x=\frac{6}{3} \\x=2.$  

       Hence we will get the value value $2.$
