Answer: The answer should be 3x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's why:

3x -2 = 1

First one must isolate the 3x in order to solve the problem. So, then one must add 2 to both sides, since the 2 is negative. (So if it is a -2, add it to the other side because remember, you are doing it on both sides and you have to get it to the other side).

So doing that, you get:

3x = +2 +1

3x = 3

If you want to simplify further:

3x = 3

x = 1

Answer: The book is right, it would break down to 3x = 3.

3x - 2 = 1 so add the 2 to the other side.

3x = 3 and then you can divide both sides by 3 to get x = 1.

Sorry if I misread what you were asking

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A circle is 360°. Since you only have 3 different types of weather, if you split the ° equally, each section would have 120°. The amount of rainy days is 10/30 or exactly 1/3, so 120° are rainy days.

If you do 30 x 12, it equals 360. So that means that each day is 12°. There were 8 cloudy days, so you can do 8 x 12 = 96°
