Question

1. What operations would you use in order to solve 3x – 4 = 26. Please write the operations in the order you would use them.

Answer 1

3x-4=26 |+4
3x=30 |:3 to get clear x
x=10

Answer 2

3x-4=26

To solve for x, first we need to get rid of 4, and for that, we have to add 4 to both sides.

3x-4+4 = 26+4

3x = 30

Now we need to get rid of 3, and for that we will divide both sides by 3 .And on doing that, we will get

x = 10
