Solve the following equation for the unknown variable: 23 = 3x – 25

1 answer

To solve the equation, first, we can add 25 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with the variable:

23 + 25 = 3x - 25 + 25
48 = 3x

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:

48 / 3 = 3x / 3
16 = x

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 16.
