Question

Can someone plz help me :)

3(x-4)= 36

Answer 1

x = 16

Explanation:

3(x-4)=36

First we will distribute:

3x - 12 = 36

Add 12 to both sides:

3x = 48

Divide both sides by the coefficient:

x = 16

Check your work:

3 (x - 4) = 36

3 (16 - 4) = 36

3 (12) = 36

36 = 36

Final answer:

x = 16
