Question

3kx+24=9kx solve for x

Answer 1

To solve this, first subtract 3kx from both sides so that both the x variables are on the same side. This will result in: 24=9kx-3kx.
Since 9kx and -3kx are like terms, they will combine and you will get 24=6kx
Now, divide 6k from both sides to isolate x and you get x=24/6k.
However, you notice that 24 and 6k both have a common factor which is 6, so you simplify 24/6k to 4/k which gives you your answer of x=4/k
