Question

If the equation is 9=3(x+2), what does x equal?

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

To solve for x, we can isolate x on one side of the equation by undoing the operation of the expression inside the parentheses. To do this, we need to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

9 = 3(x + 2)

9 = 3x + 6

3 = 3x

Finally, we divide both sides by 3 to obtain:

x = 1

So, the value of x is 1.

Answer 2

9=3(x+2)
9=3x+6
3x=3
x=1
