What value of x satisfies the equation 3...

What value of x satisfies the equation 3x + 3 = 27 ?

A

3

B

8

C

10

D

27

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation yields 3x = 24. Dividing both sides of this equation by 3 yields x = 8. Choice A is incorrect and may result from finding a common factor among the three given terms instead of finding x. Choice C is incorrect and may result from incorrectly adding 3 to, instead of subtracting 3 from, the right-hand side of the equation. Choice D is incorrect. This is the value of 3x + 3, not the value of x.
