Answer:

0

Explanation:

Isolate the variable x. First, distribute 3 to all terms within the parenthesis.

3(2x + 3) = 3(2x) + 3(3) = 6x + 9

6x + 9 = 9

Isolate the variable x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, subtract 9 from both sides.

6x + 9 (-9) = 9 (-9)

6x = 0

Divide 6 from both sides.

(6x)/6 = (0)/6

x = 0

0 is your answer.
