Joan can't quite read the board in her math class. She writes down the equation she reads on the
board as 3x – 7 = 38. She correctly solves the equation she wrote down, but is surprised to hear the
teacher say the answer is 6 less than the answer she found. When she asks the teacher to check her
work, the teacher says that Joan copied the coefficient of x incorrectly (but copied everything else
correctly). What should the coefficient of x have been?

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 7 =38

3x = 38+7
