Question 969891
" No job too big, no job too small."
{{{ 6x + 3 = 45 }}}
I want to get the term with the unknown in
it on one side by itself
To do this, I subtract {{{ 3 }}} from both sides
-----------------------------------------
{{{ 6x + 3 = 45 }}}
{{{ -3 = -3 }}}
-----------------
{{{ 6x + 0 = 45 - 3 }}}
{{{ 6x = 42 }}}
Now divide both sides by {{{ 6 }}}
{{{ ( 6x ) / 6 = 42/6 }}}
{{{ x = 7 }}} answer
----------------------------
Hope this helps. Just remember, whatever
you do to one side, you must do the same
thing to the other side.
That way, you keep both sides equal
