Question

how do you solve 3 = x + 3 + 6x?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

3 = x + 3 + 6x

Combine like terms

3=7x + 3

Use order of operations to isolate x

3=7x + 3

-3       -3

0/7=7x/7

x=0/7 or 0

Answer 2

Answer: 0=x

Step-by-step explanation: First we need to combine like terms.

3 = x + 3 + 6x

3=3+7x

Then we subtract 3 from both sides.

3=3+7x

0=7x

Finally we divide both sides by 7

0=7x

0/7=7x/7

0=x

Hope this helps!
