Answer:


x = 6

Explanation:


1. \: 3(x - 3) = x + 3 \\ 2. \: 3x - 9 = x + 3 \\ 3. \: 3x = x + 3 + 9 \\ 4. \: 3x = x + 12 \\ 5. \: 3x - x = 12 \\ 6. \: 2x = 12 \\ 7. \: x = (12)/(2) \\ 8. \: x = 6

First, we need to find the value of x

Equation A = x - 3
Equation B = x + 3 = 5
Equation C = 15

Equation B= subtract three from both sides. Therefore, x = 2

Equation A = (2) - 3 = -1

Equation C = 15

Therefore

-1, 2, 15

I’m so sorry if this is wrong :(
