Hello there!

Thanks for posting your question!

Answer: x=18 and 18=x. *The answer must have negative sign.*

Explanation:

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

a-c=b-c

First, subtract by 3 both sides of an equation.

2x+3-3=39-3

Then, simplify by equation.

2x=36

Next, divide by 2 both sides of an equation.

2x/2=36/2

Finally, simplify by equation and it just gives us the final answer.

36/2=18

18*2=36

2*18=36

36/18=2

x=18 and 18=x

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
