Answer:


x = 8

Explanation:

1) Subtract 6 from both sides.


3(x + 1) = 33 - 6

2) Simplify 33 - 6 to 27.


3(x + 1) = 27

3) Divide both sides by 3.


x + 1 = (27)/(3)

4) Simplify 27/3 to 9.


x + 1 = 9

5) Subtract 1 from both sides.


x = 9 - 1

6) Simplify 9 - 1 to 8.


x = 8

Therefor the answer is, x = 8.
