To solve for x in the equation 3x - 24 = 81, we need to isolate x by moving the constant term (-24) to the other side of the equation.
Adding 24 to both sides of the equation, we have:
3x - 24 + 24 = 81 + 24
Simplifying, we get:
3x = 105
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
(3x)/3 = 105/3
Simplifying further:
x = 35
Therefore, x = 35 is the solution to the equation 3x - 24 = 81.
Solve for x: 3x − 24 = 81
