Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

3x + 6y = 24 <--- This is the original equation.

3(6) + 6y = 24 <--- Replace the variable.

18 + 6y = 24 <--- Simplify

24y = 24 <--- Do the addition.

24 = 24 <--- This equation is correct.

Therefore, x = 6.

I hope his helps! :D

Answer: x= 8-2y

Explanation:

3x+6y=24

Subtract 6y from both sides

3x=24−6y

Divide both sides by 3

3/3x = 24-6y/3

Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3

x=24-6y/3

Divide 24−6y by 3.

The final answer comes out as x=8-2y. Hope this helped!
