Question

solve for x: 3x+4=7

Answer 1

3x+4=7
3x + 4 - 4 = 7 - 4
3x = 3
x = ?

Answer 2

when you want to solve for a variable you want your asnwer to look like x=? So you need to separate x from everything else. So the first thing to do would be to subtract 4 from 7. So you end up with 3x=3. Now we need X not 3X. So divide both sides by 3. Then we get x = 1

Answer 3

X= 3/3 (divide both sides by 3 to get rid of x's co-efficient)
x=1
