Question

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

Answer 1

When we look at this problem, we see that we can deduce an equation off of what's given.
When the problem says that the sum of x and 6, we can assume x+6.
Also, when we see is equal to x multiplied by 3, we can also assume that means 3x.

This knowledge gives us x+6=3x
We can simplify this to be 6=2x
This gives x=2

Answer 2

so to solve for x divide each side by -2?
so you would get,
-2x = -6
\[\frac{ -2x }{ -2 } = \frac{ -6 }{ -2 }\]
x=3?

Answer 3

\[x+6=3x \] -3x-6 = -3x-6

-2x=-6=3


x=3

Answer 4

yep 6/2 is 3. That's my bad
