Question

3x=9??

a. x=27
b. x=3

Answer 1

The answer is b

X means you multiply and 3 is what you multiply by 3 to equal to 9

Answer 2

B) x = 3

Explanation:

lets plug in the first option to see if it works

3x=9

3*27=9

thats not right ( 3*27 = 81 )

Next, we try the second option

3x=9

3*3=9

that looks more like a resonable answer right?

now to check our work

3+3+3=9

Its correct!

Hope that helps
