Answer 1

Answer is 12
Reason
Combine like terms
3x + 99 x = 1224
102x = 1224
Now solve for x
Divide both sides by 102
x= 12

`\mathsf{3x + 99x = 1,224}\\\\\large\textbf{COMBINE the LIKE TERMS}\\\\\mathsf{(3x + 99x) = 1,224}\\\mathsf{3x + 99x = 1,224}\\\mathsf{\bold{102x} = 1,224}\\\\\large\textbf{DIVIDE 102 to BOTH SIDES}\\\\\mathsf{(102x)/(102) = (1,224)/(102)}\\\\\large\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT!}\\\\\mathsf{x = (1,224)/(102)}\\\\\mathsf{x = 12}\\\\\\\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{x = 12}}}\huge\checkmark`
