3x-25=104

Question

solve for x

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 3x - 25 = 104 \), follow these steps:

1. Add 25 to both sides of the equation:

   \[ 3x - 25 + 25 = 104 + 25 \]

   This simplifies to:

   \[ 3x = 129 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 3:

   \[ x = \frac{129}{3} \]

   This simplifies to:

   \[ x = 43 \]

So the solution is \( x = 43 \).
