The first thing we can do is simplify the multiplication

Answer 6

448

Answer 8

So now we have \[3x + 448 = 454.9\]

Answer 9

What might be the next step if we wish to get x alone on one side

Answer 10

3+448

Answer 11

Well we can subtract 448 from both sides of the equation. What would this give us?

Answer 12

\[3x+448 - 448 = 454.9 - 448\]

Answer 13

6.9

Answer 14

\[3x = 6.9\]

What should be the last step? :)
