The given expression is


34x+95=3(14x+9)

First, we use the distributive property.


34x+95=42x+27

Then, we subtract 42x on each side.


\begin{gathered} 34x-42x+95=42x-42x+27 \\ -8x+95=27 \end{gathered}

Now, we subtract 95 on each side.


\begin{gathered} -8x+95-95=27-95 \\ -8x=-68 \\ \end{gathered}
