Solve for X in the Linear Equation 3x = 18

Question

Solve for X:

3x=18 3x=18

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We use the formula:

ax=b a\cdot x=b

x=ba x=\frac{b}{a}

Note that the coefficient of X is 3.

Therefore, we will divide both sides by 3:

3x3=183 \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{18}{3}

Then divide accordingly:

x=6 x=6

Answer

6 6
