Question

Which value makes the equation3x - 6 = 36 true?a) 10b)12c)14d)16​

Answer 1

Answer:

C) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 6 to both sides:

3x - 6 (+6) = 36 (+6)

3x = 36 + 6

3x = 42

Next, divide 3 from both sides:

(3x)/3 = (42)/3

x = 42/3

x = 14

c) 14 is your answer.
