What is the first step in solving the equation 7x = 3x + 24?

Back

The first step is to isolate the variable by moving all terms involving the variable to one side of the equation.

Front

How do you isolate the variable in the equation 7x = 3x + 24?

Back

Subtract 3x from both sides to get 4x = 24.

Front

What is the next step after isolating the variable in 4x = 24?

Back

Divide both sides by 4 to find x.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 4x = 24?

Back

x = 6.

Front
