Question

Vhat is the value of x in the equation 3x - 2y = 18, when y= 27?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2y = 18

y = 27

3x - 2(27) = 18

3x - 54 = 18

3x = 72

x = 24

Answer 2

Answer:

x=24

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2y=18

Put the y value where it belongs...

3x-2(27)=18

3x-54=18        Separate the x

    +54  +54

3x=72         Divide

x=24
