Question

Solve for X.

-24+6x=-6

Answer 1

x=3

Explanation:

Get your constant -24 to the other side to isolate the 6x.

-24+24+6x=-6+24

6x=18

Now since the 6 is multiplied by the x to isolate the x further divide 6x by 6, make sure to divide both sides. It should look like:

6x/6=18/6

x=3

To prove the answer just plug in 3 into the orginal equation and if both sides are equal its correct.

Answer 2

3

Explanation:

start by added 24 to both sides to get

6x = 18

then divide 18 by 6 to get

x = 3
