Question

Solve the equation show your work 3x equals 45​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

3x / 3 = 45 / 3 x = 15

Answer 2

3x = 45

We have to isolate x. To do that we must bring 3 to the right side of the equation.

How is that done?

Well you need a little bit of magic. Just kidding, you need something close to it. It's called math

Since three is being multiplied by x we have to do the opposite of multiplication to bring it over to the right side and cancel 3 from the left side. The opposite of multiplication is DIVISION so...

3x ÷ 3 = 45 ÷ 3

^^^What you do to one side you do to the other

x = 15

Hope this helped!
