Question

6x + 34 = 24
3x - 44 = -21

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) 6x + 34 = 24

- Subtract 34 from both sides.

6x + 34 = 24

6x + 34 - 34 = 24 - 34

- Simplify the expression.

(Subtract the numbers)

6x = 24 - 34

- Subtract the numbers

6x = -10

Divide the numbers both by the same factors.

6/6 = -10/6

x = -5/3

2) 3x - 44 = -21

3x - 44 + 44 = -21 + 44

3x = 23

3x/3=23/3
