3(x-3) = -3x + 39
3x - 9 = -3x + 39
3x + 3x = 39 + 9
6x = 48
x = 48/6
x = 8

In short, Your Answer would be Option C) 8

Hope this helps!

Answer:

c) 8 is the answer.

Explanation:

The equation is,

→ 3(x - 3) = -3x + 39

Let's solve for the value of x,

→ 3(x - 3) = -3x + 39

→ 3x - 9 = -3x + 39

→ 3x + 3x = 39 + 9

→ 6x = 39 + 9

→ 6x = 48

→ x = 48/6

→ [ x = 8 ]

Hence, the value of x is 8.
