30 = -9x + 3

1 answer

To find the value of x in the equation -9x + 3 = 30, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

First, subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:

-9x + 3 - 3 = 30 - 3
-9x = 27

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -9 to solve for x:

-9x / -9 = 27 / -9
x = -3

Therefore, x = -3 is the solution to the equation -9x + 3 = 30.
