Question 50209: how do you find the value of x
Answer by tutorcecilia(2152) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you have an equation, such as:
3x+4=2, attempt to get the x-variable to one side of the equation. When solving for "x", use the reverse of the order of operations. That is, instead of performing multiplication or division first, perform addition or subtraction. Than perform multiplication or division last.
.
3x+4-4=2-4
3x=-2
3x/3=-2/3
x=-2/3
