First, Divide by 3 on both sides.
So 3x=12 will turn to 3x/3=12/3
Which isolates the variable x and the answer: x= 4
Answer:
a(n) = a(1) -3(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello there!
2x - 7 = 3
Solve for x
2x = 3 + 7
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
Therefore, the number of x in the equation is 5
Let me know if you have additional question!
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Determine an ordered pair</u>
A solution of an equation just means that the point lies on the line. We can find any y-value when we plug in a specific x-value. For example, if we want to know what ordered pair lies at x=1, we just plug in y = -1/2(1) and solve for y which gives us -1/2. This gives us an ordered pair of (1, -1/2). We can continue to do this for any x value.
We can also reverse the order and plug in the y-value and get the x-value in order to accomplish the same goal but it's a bit harder.
Hope this helps!
