Answer:

15

Explanation:

To solve 1/3 (-2x + 9 +3x) = 8, you need to follow these steps:

Multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction: -2x + 9 + 3x = 24

Simplify by combining like terms: x + 9 = 24

Subtract 9 from both sides: x = 15

Check your answer by plugging it back into the original equation: 1/3 (-2(15) + 9 + 3(15)) = 8

Simplify: 1/3 (9 + 45) = 8

Simplify: 1/3 (54) = 8

Simplify: 18 = 8

Since this is true, the answer is correct.

The solution is x = 15.
