Answer:

The solution is x = 1

Explanation:

3(2x+3) = 15

6x+9 = 15

6x = 15-9

6x = 6

x = 6/6

x = 1

If you are solving for X then we have to do a few process

What you would want most is to remove the parentheses, so to do that i would use distributive property

3*2x is 6x and 3*3 is 9 so our new equation will look like

6x+9=15 if you don't understand please tell me

now we must bring the 9 over

If you bring the 9 over than it would become negative

6x=15-9

so 6x=6

and now you can solve the answer is x=1
