    Answer:

    No, Jason’s method is not a good one to follow, because u have to let x alone, and try to break down the constant.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Jason should do 3x – 12 = 36

                                3x + 12 = + 12

                                3x = 48

                                 x = 16

    Answer:

    It works and is a good one to follow if each term is divisible by the same number!

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Dividing each term by 3 will give us the equation x – 4 = 12 which leads to the correct answer of x = 16.

    However, if there each term is not divisible by the same number, it is not a good method to follow (because it will not work).
