Question

In the equation 3x=36+9 what is the next step in the equation solving sequence

Answer 1

First step: Combine like terms, Answer:
`x=15`

Explanation:

First, we need the variable on the left side and constants on the right.

So, we combine like terms to get
`3x=36+9=45`.

Then, we can divide both sides by
`3` to isolate the variable and get
`\boxed{x=15}`.
