Question

3x = 50

Solve for x


(Apparently I need 20 characters to ask a question so feel free to ignore this)

Answer 1

you want to get x alone so your going to divide both sides by 3, so 3 divided by 3x is x and 50 divided by 3 is 16.6 so x=16.6 if you cannot have a decimal answer it would be x= 50/3

Answer 2

x = 50/3

Explanation:

divide both sides by 3

3x/3 and 50/3

that leaves x on its own, and since 3 can't fit perfectly into 50, you'll have to leave that as 50/3.
