Answer:

3(4x+5)=33

open the brackets(multiply both by 3)

12x+15=33

Minus 15

12x=18

x=1.5 (18/12)

Explanation:


3(4x + 5) = 33 \\ \\ \therefore \: 12x + 15 = 33 \\ \\ \therefore \: 12x = 33 - 15 \\ \\ \therefore \: 12x = 18 \\ \\ \therefore \:x = (18)/(12) \\ \\ \huge \red{ \boxed { \bold{ \therefore \:x = 1.5}}}
