Question

70 = 19 - 3x what does x equal?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\bf x=-17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bf 70=19-3x$

$\bf 19-3x=70$

$\boxed{\bf Subtract \: 19\: from\: both\: sides:}$

• $\bf 19-3x-19=70-19$

• $\bf -3x=51$

$\boxed{\bf Divide \: both\:sides\: by -3:}$

• $\bf \cfrac{-3x}{-3}=\cfrac{51}{-3}$

• $\bf x=-17$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

→ 70 = 19 - 3x

→ - 19 + 70 = -3x

→ 51 = -3x

→ -3x = -51

→ x = -51/3 = -17

→ x = -17

therefore, value of x is -17.
