What does x equal in this equation: 24+3x=3x+3(7-1) Please help this is due tomorrow!

1 answer:

3 0

      24 + 3x = 3x + 3(7 - 1)

Eliminate the parentheses: 24 + 3x = 3x + 3(6)

      24 + 3x = 3x + 18

Subtract 3x from each side:    <em>24 = 18</em>

Look at that for a second. Can ANY value of 'x' make 24 equal to 18 ?
I don't think so.
There's NO number that makes the equation a true statement.

That's just another way to say: "The equation has NO solution."
