Question

What’s the value of x? 3x-24=x+10

Answer 1

Answer:

x=17

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-24=x+10

Carry over the like terms and put them together. Make the unknowns which are x the subject.

3x-x= 24+10

2x= 34

2x= 34/2

x= 17

Answer 2

Subtract 3x from each side which will give you -24=-2x+10. Then, subtract 10 from each side which will give you -34=-2x. Divide both by 2 and you should get x=17.
