Dear Jiskha,
I know I am probably nagging you, and asking for answers isn't up to your fancy but if you could, give me an example? 3x + 6 = 24
Example please but not the answer to question.
Sincerely,
Helen Doe
I'm not sure what you expect in an example. But I will show you how to solve this problem.
3x + 6 = 24
That means that 3 times an unknown number plus 6 equals 24.
First, subtract 6 from both sides.
3x = 18
Next, divide both sides by 3.
x = 6
