x = 0

Step by step explanation:

STEP 1:

Expand:


(1)/(3) (9x + 3) = 3x + 1

Now, this gets us..


3x + 1 = 2x + 1

STEP 2:

Subtract 1 from both sides:


3x + 1 - 1 = 2x + 1 - 1

STEP 3:

Simplify:


3x

AND,


2x

STEP 4:

Subtract 2x from both sides:


3x - 2x = 2x - 2x

Once you do that.. Simplify it and you will get:


x = 0

So, therefore..

Your answer is: (x = 0)
