Chapter 6: Problem 14

Solve and check each equation. \(3 x+8=50\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution to the equation \(3x + 8 = 50\) is \(x = 14\).

Step by step solution

01

Subtract 8 from both sides

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x. This will give the new equation as \(3x = 50 - 8\) or \(3x = 42\).
02

Divide by 3 from both sides

Divide each side of the \(3x = 42\) by 3. This will isolate x on the left side. The new equation becomes \(x = 42 / 3\) or \(x = 14\).
03

Check solution

Substitute the value 14 for 'x' in the original equation. This becomes \(3*14 + 8 = 50\). After simplifying, this indeed equals 50, confirming the correctness of our solution.
