Question

Solve the equation 3(x+6)=24, and find the value of x.

Answer 1

Hint: In order to solve this problem we need to simplify the given equation and solve the value for x. We shift the constant values on the one side.

Complete step-by-step answer:
The given equation is 3(x+6)=24.
We need to find the value of x.
We will find it by solving the given equation.
3(x+6)=24
The given equation can be written as:
$\Rightarrow$ 3x+18=24
$\Rightarrow$ 3x=6
$\Rightarrow$ x=2
Hence the value of x is 2.

Note: In this problem you need to solve the equation for the value of x. be careful of positive and negative terms while transposing. This is a linear equation in one variable so we can solve it with a single equation. Remember if you are finding the values of variables then there must be a number of equations equal to the number of variables. Keeping this in mind and solving algebraically or rationalizing you can get the value of the equation.
