Algebra 1 distributing problem.. I'm lost, can you help?
I'm not asking for the direct answer because that would be cheating, don't just give the answer, but instead type out the steps you did to get that answer so I can see how. (You may include answer after working it out, as long as I can see how you got the answer.)
I'm not very good at math, and I know I know how to do this, I'm just rusty on it. Here's the problem:
3 (4) (-7) +3 (4x) =24
Thanks! Answer QUICKLY please! (As in within an hour of the posting of this question)
Someone just "answered" the question asking if it needs to be solved for x. Yes, that is the case. =)
Thanks Danielle! I got x=9 as my answer, and just had a family member check it for me to make sure I got it right, and that is the correct answer. Thanks again! I'll choose you as "best answer" as soon as I figure out how to do that, lol.

what does the question ask you to do? Solve for x??
Ok, first you need to combine like terms on the left side so you can get x by itself.
Once you have x by itself on one side, divide that by the right side and you will have your answer for x.
To check it, plug in the number you got into the equation and if both sides equal 24 it is correct.
