Explain how to get the variable alone in the equation. 3x = 24

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the variable alone you would divide both sides by 3. You do this because 3 is a common factor that both 3 and 24 have. Once you divide 3 on each side, you have x = 8 as your final answer.

341

step-by-step explanation:

all you have to do is 9x31 (which equals 279) and then 20x31 (which equals 620). then you have to subtract. 620-279=341.
