Question

Write two operations in order that you would use to solve the equation 3x - 2=7 then solve the equation

Answer 1

3x-2=7

You first subtract 2 from both sides, so 2-2=0 & 7-2=5

3x=5

Then you divide 3 from both sides to get “X” alone, 3x/3= 1x (but the the one is invisible so it equal “X”) and then 5/3= 1.66666..

So the answer to this problem is

X=1.6

Answer 2

Here’s how to solve it:
3x = 7 + 2
3x = 9
x = 9/3
x = 3
