Question

Steps for solving 3x+18=54 are shown explain how step 1 helps solve the equation.

Answer 1

its c or b but i believe its c

Answer 2

Option C is correct

Subtracting 18 from both sides isolates the variable term

Explanation:

Given an equation:

`3x+18 = 54`

Subtract 18 from both sides we get;

Step 1.

`3x+18-18 = 54-18`

Simplify:

Step 2.

`3x = 36`

Divide both sides by 3 we have;

Step 3.

`(3x)/(3)=(36)/(3)`

Simplify:

Step 4.

x = 12

Therefore, Subtracting 18 from both sides isolates the variable term in step 1 helps to solve the equation.
