Question

3x+24=7x+3 i need help with thsi equation

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is given below as

$3x+24=7x+3$

Step 1:

Collect similar terms

$\begin{gathered} 3x+24=7x+3 \\ 3x-7x=3-24 \\ -4x=-21 \end{gathered}$

Step 2:

Divide both sides by -4

$\begin{gathered} -4x=-21 \\ \frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{-21}{-4} \\ x=\frac{21}{4} \\ x=5\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}$

Hence,

The final answer is x = 21/4 ( improper fraction)

x = 5.25 ( decimal)
