The sum of x and 6 is equal to x multiplied by 3. Find the value of x.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

"The sum of x and 6" translates to x + 6 since "sum" means "result of addition"

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that means the entire sentence "The sum of x and 6 is equal to x multiplied by 3" tells us we have this equation x+6 = 3x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so your task is to solve the equation: x+6 = 3x for x
