Answer:
x = 9
Explanation:
first step, multiply both sides by 6. This is going to get rid of that fraction-looking situation on the left.
3x+9 / 6 = x - 3
6• 3x+9 /6 = 6(x-3)
On the left the 6s cancel (cancel is not a technical math term, but 6/6 is 1, so you are left with only the 3x+9)
3x + 9 = 6(x - 3)
Next, use distributive property on the right side.
3x + 9 = 6x - 18
Subtract 3x from both sides.
9 = 3x - 18
Add 18 to both sides.
27 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3.
27/3 = x
9 = x
x = 9
