Question

Use the equation to do the following: 3x - 6 = 24
2) Prove that you could get the same result for x by undoing multiplication instead of subtraction first.

Answer 1

You simply cannot do this:
With division first:
\[x-6=8\]\[x=14\]
With subtraction first:
\[3x =18\]\[x=6\]\[14\neq6\]

Answer 2

That's what I got to, hope it's not a trick question.
