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

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
