What is the solution to the equation 3x + 3 = 24?

  1. 7

  2. 8

  3. 9

  4. 16

The correct answer is: 7

The solution to the equation 3x + 3 = 24 is found by subtracting 3 from both sides, leaving you with 3x = 21. Then, by dividing both sides by 3, you get the solution x=7. The other options are incorrect because B and C do not account for the initial addition of 3, and D is too large of a number to fit into the equation. It is important to carefully follow the rules of solving equations to arrive at the correct solution.
