When x=3, y=-4, and z=2, what is the solution for 6x - 48 = 6?

-6
-3
3
9

The correct answer is: 9

To solve the equation 6x - 48 = 6, we start by isolating the variable x. First, we can add 48 to both sides of the equation: 6x - 48 + 48 = 6 + 48 This simplifies to: 6x = 54 Next, to solve for x, we divide both sides by 6: x = 54 / 6 This gives us: x = 9 Thus, the correct answer is 9. This means that when substituting the values given (x = 3, y = -4, and z = 2) into the original equation does not influence the outcome for x when specifically calculating the solution of the equation provided. The focus here is solely on solving for x from the equation itself.
