3x7=21

Answer 2

i think this should be , bc if you were to set up the problem it would be

3x + 5 = 26.

after that, you would either add or subtract depending on the constant (+5 is positive 5). if you do it correctly you should end up with

3x = 21

now you would divide by the coefficient, which is 3. the answer should be 7.
