Question

Solve for X showing every step​

Answer 1

x = 1

Explanation:

3(x + 6) -5 = 16

You want to first add the 5 (*flipping the sign) over to the 16

making your equation ...

3(x +6) = 21

Then you want to distribute the 3 to x and 6

making you equation

3x + 18 = 21

Then you want to subtract the 18 (*flipping the sign) to the right side

making the equation....

3x = 3

Lastly, divide the 3 on the left to the 3 on the right making the answer 1

x = 1
