3*2x+3*7 = 45 6x + 21 =45 Collect like terms - all constants on the Right Hand side Solve by isolating X Then divide both sides by the coefficient of X ; result answer for 1 X

Simplifying 3 * 2x + 3 * 7 = 45 Multiply 3 * 2 6x + 3 * 7 = 45 Multiply 3 * 7 6x + 21 = 45 Reorder the terms: 21 + 6x = 45 Solving 21 + 6x = 45 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-21' to each side of the equation. 21 + -21 + 6x = 45 + -21 Combine like terms: 21 + -21 = 0 0 + 6x = 45 + -21 6x = 45 + -21 Combine like terms: 45 + -21 = 24 6x = 24 Divide each side by '6'. x = 4 Simplifying x = 4
