Question

What is the answer to this Soultion? 3X + 15 = 24?
How did you find this answer??

Answer 1

Solve for "x" in the equation.... 3x +15 = 24

First: subtract 15 from both sides (when you move a term to the opposite side, always use the opposite sign).

3x +15 - 15 = 24 - 15

3x = 24 - 15

3x = 9

Sec: solve for "x" by isolating the variable on one side - divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = 9/3

x = 9/3

x = 3

Answer 2

the soultion is x=3.

subtract 15 from 15 then subtract 15 from 24 and you get 9.

then you divide 9 by 3 and get x=3

Answer 3

3x+15=24 subtract 15 from each side
3x=9 divide by 3 on each side
x=3

Answer 4

Subtract 15 from both sides

3X + 15 -15 = 24 -15

3x = 9

Now divide both sides by 3

3/3x=9/3

So we get

x=3

Check:

3(3)+15=24
9+15=24
24=24 works

Answer 5

3x+15=24
3x = 24-15 = 9
x = 9/3 = 3

Answer 6

subtract 15 for both sides
3x = 9

divide 3 for both sides
x= 3

Answer 7

well, you balance equiation. this means algebra, solving for 'x' they say. i not do this for you. you MUST WORK. you got paper?

you give me three 'terms' a term is a 'chunk of algebra.' terms are like apples and oranges, you only have add/subtract like terms. <<<>>

you have 15 and 24. no x with these. _these_ terms can add, or subtract. put the 15 on the other side! how u do this??? (subtract 15 from BOTH SIDES of equal sign.) what do you get????

hopefully you get new equaition with only two terms now!!!! (somethin x = something...)

.... well... now your stuck. only two terms left, and they dont mix..... hmmm... mix...what else you know.? like dividion multyplication??????divide yes?? divide what?? both SIDES!! you divided right???

hopefully not by 164. i made a mess. i would multiple. you only multiple, never divide! multiple by something else. remember that (164/164 = 1) so is 3/3 and.........like 1/3 times 3/1 = 3/3 =1


you get answer???? good luck

Answer 8

3x+15=24
3x+15-15=24-15
3x=9
3x/3=9/3
x=3
