Here is your answer: First write the equation: 9x+27=108 Subtract 27 on each side 108-27=81 Then divide 9 by 81 9/81=9 Your answer is x=9

9(x + 3) = 108

First distribute the 9 to everything inside the parenthesis by multiplying them.
9x + 27 = 108

Now subtract 27 from both sides

9x + 27 (-27) = 108 (-27)

9x = 81

divide 9 from both sides

9x/9 = 81/9

x = 9

9x = 81

hope this helps
