Question

Solving the equation for x 3x+2=100

Answer 1

`x=(98)/(3)`

Explanation:

We are given our equation as 3x+2=100

We are asked to solve this equation for x.

Let us subtract 2 from both sides

3x+2-2=100-2

3x=98

Now we divide both sides by 3

`(3x)/(3)=(98)/(3)`

`x=(98)/(3)`

Hence the value of x is

`x=(98)/(3)`
