What is the way to find the answer to the problem....3x+1=10?
My teacher told us in class but I just didn't understad it.
The idea is to get the x all alone on one side.
Subtract one from each side.
Then, divide each side by three.
3x + 1 = 10
First subtract 1 from both sides. That should get you started.
OK HERE GOES>>>>
3x + 1 = 10.
So three of something, plus one equals ten in otherwords. I take away the one first. So now you have
3x = 9
Now what number three times equals nine?
Well that would be three !
So
3x = 9
means that
x = 3.
and your solution
3x = 1 = 10
Means
that three of x (which is three 3 times so that's nine to check)
plus 1 equals ten.
AKA- X = 3.
If you need help from your teacher again, don't be afraid to ask. Keep asking until you understand.
sorry if i confused you. sometimes
algebra looks hard, but indeed is very simple. The hardest part is understanding how it is so simple !
Good Luck =)
To find the solution to the equation 3x + 1 = 10, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with the equation: 3x + 1 = 10.
2. To isolate the variable x, you need to get rid of the 1 on the left side of the equation. You can do this by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation:
3x + 1 - 1 = 10 - 1.
3. Simplify both sides of the equation:
3x = 9.
4. Now, you want to solve for x. Since x is being multiplied by 3, you can undo this operation by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
(3x)/3 = 9/3.
5. Simplify the equation:
x = 3.
So, the solution to the equation 3x + 1 = 10 is x = 3.
Remember, when solving equations, the goal is to isolate the variable you're trying to solve for. By performing operations on both sides of the equation to keep it balanced, you can find the solution. If you're still confused or need further clarification, don't hesitate to ask your teacher for help. It's important to keep asking questions until you understand the concepts fully. Mathematics can seem challenging sometimes, but with practice and understanding, it becomes simpler. Good luck!
