Answer 1

Value x = 8 make the equation true .

Explanation:

Given : 3x = 24.

To find : Which value of x from the set {5, 6, 7, 8} makes this equation true?

Solution : We have given 3x = 24.

The equations are true when the Left hand side and right hand side of the equation are equal.

Then,

For x = 8 .

3 ( 8) = 24

24 = 24 .
