Solve 3x + 26 = 6c for x.
Step 1: 3x + 26 - 26 = 6c - 26 subtract 2b from both sides
Step 2: 3x = 6c - 26 combine like terms/simplify
Step 3: 3 = &c - 26 divide by 3 on both sides to get x isolated
Step 4: x = 2c - 26 simplify/final answer
Which statement is TRUE?
(1 point)
O The process has an error. The correct answer is x = 2c - 2/3b
• The process is correct.
• The process has an error. The correct answer is x = -4b - c
• The process has an error. The correct answer is x = 4bc/3
The correct statement is: The process is correct.
The statement "The process is correct" is true. The correct answer is x = 2c - 26.
The correct statement is: The process is correct.
Here's the step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 26 from both sides of the equation.
3x + 26 - 26 = 6c - 26
This simplifies to:
3x = 6c - 26
Step 2: Combine like terms and simplify.
3x = 6c - 26
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x.
3x/3 = (6c - 26)/3
This gives:
x = (6c - 26)/3
Step 4: Simplify the expression.
x = 2c - 8.6666...
So the correct answer is x = 2c - 8.6666..., which can also be written as x = 2c - 26/3.
