Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The main idea of how to solve it is to isolate the variable. Whatever you multiply, divide, add, or subtract on one side, you must do the same to the other side so that both sides are equal.

3(x-1) = 21

3(x-1) / 3 = 21 / 3

x - 1 = 7

  + 1 + 1

x = 6

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First distribute

then +3 to both sides

which becomes 3x = 21

then divide both sides by 3 to get X by itself

You have to gather like terms. for example numbers with the same letter go together. when you gather them, as the number with the letter move across the equal sign, they change operation. for example,
7n + 2 = 4n + 17
becomes
7n - 4n =  - 2 + 17

– 3х + 3 = 9<br> 1 2x – 7y = -14
aliina [53]

Answer:

x = -2, y = -(10/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 3 = 9  ---------- equation 1

12x - 7y = -14  --------equation 2

from equation 1

-3x + 3 = 9

collect like terms

-3x = 9 - 3

-3x = 6

dividing both sides by -3

x = -2

substitute x = -2 into equation 2

12x - 7y = -14

12(-2) - 7y = -14

-24 - 7y = -14

collect like terms

-7y = -14 + 24

-7y = 10

divide both sides by -7

y = -(10/7)

therefore x = -2, and y = -(10/7)
