Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Remeber this rule: PEMDAS
Even though parantheses comes first, we must take away 3 By dividing (since 3 is currently multiplying with x+6). Picture it like a ‘tail,’ and you must take the tail away first. so it would look like this:
3 ÷ 3 (x+6) = 24÷3
3 ÷ 3 cancels out, and 24 ÷ 3 equals 8, so now your equation becomes:
x + 6 = 8
now, we subtract 6 (since it is adding with x)
x + 6 - 6 = 8 - 6
positive 6 and negative 6 (aka 6-6) cancel out, and 8 - 6 = 2, so x = 2
hAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!
