help with math? (couple questions)

OpenStudy (ribhu):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for x: 3x − 24 = 81 fifty-seven over three one hundred five over three 57 105

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

First we need to get -24 to the other side.

OpenStudy (ribhu):

its just a problem of transposition and then simplification.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok how will i get - 24 to the other side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplifying 3x + -24 = 81 Reorder the terms: -24 + 3x = 81 Solving -24 + 3x = 81 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '24' to each side of the equation. -24 + 24 + 3x = 81 + 24 Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0 0 + 3x = 81 + 24 3x = 81 + 24 Combine like terms: 81 + 24 = 105 3x = 105 Divide each side by '3'. x = 35 Simplifying x = 35

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

well then....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you very much btw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so next i would add 35 to 35?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im rly lost tbh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tbh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to be honest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, well what seems to be the issue from the solved problem above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no clue i guess it would be to get your answer from the simplified version?
