Question

Choose the procedure you would use to solve the equation 3x + 3 = 24 for x.

Subtract three from both sides, and then divide by three on both sides.

Subtract three from both sides, and then multiply by three on both sides.

Divide both sides by three, and then add three to both sides.

Divide both sides by three, and then subtract 24 from both sides.

Answer 1

Subtract three from both sides, and then divide by three on both sides.

Answer 2

3x + 3 = 24 (solve for X by isolating it, first subtract 3)

3x = 21 (now divide by 3)

x = 7
