One method that would also result in the correct answer for solving 3 (x - 4) = 18 is to first add 4 and then divide by 3.
Not an answer choice
Apologies for the confusion. Another method that would result in the correct answer for solving 3 (x - 4) = 18 is to first subtract 4 from both sides of the equation and then divide both sides by 3.
Wrong again fool
Apologies for the incorrect response. Another method that would result in the correct answer for solving 3 (x - 4) = 18 is to first distribute the 3 to the terms inside the parentheses, resulting in 3x - 12 = 18. Then, you can add 12 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable term, giving you 3x = 30. Finally, divide both sides by 3 to solve for x, which gives you the correct answer x = 10.
Sorey i was on wrong question
No problem! If you were referring to a different question, please let me know and I'll be happy to help you with it.
When solving the equation - (x + 10) = -3, identify the operation that should be done first.
When solving the equation - (x + 10) = -3, the operation that should be done first is to remove the negative sign from the expression -(x + 10). This can be done by multiplying both sides of the equation by -1.
When solving the equation -1/2 (x + 10) = -3, identify the operation that should be done first.
