Question

Solve 3x − 2 = 37. Group of answer choices 2 5 7 9

Answer 1

x = 13

Explanation:

To find the value of x we need to isolate it! To do this we have to get rid of any other value around it...

Firstly we need to get rid of the ' -2 '. We have to add 2 to both sides!

• 3x -2 + 2 = 3x
• 37 + 2 = 39

Now we are left with 3x = 39 so we have to get rid of the 3. We have to divide 3 from both sides!

• 3x ÷ 3 = x
• 39 ÷ 3 = 13

x = 13!

Hope this helps, have a lovely day! :)
