Question

Please provide an explanation with your answer, im trying my best to understand

Answer 1

we have

3(x-4)=24

solve for x

step 1

apply distributive property left sides

3(x)-3(4)=24

3x-12=24

step 2

adds 12 both sides

so

3x-12+12=24+12

simplify

3x=36

step 3

divide by 3 both sides

3x/3=36/3

x=12
