Answer:

x = 11

Explanation:

First Expand the Brackets

3x-15 = 18

Then add 15 onto both sides

3x = 33

Divide both sides by 3

x = 11

Answer:

x=1

Explanation:

To solve this question we will have to open the bracket first

So let's solve

3(x-5)=18

Open the bracket

3x-15=18

Add 15 to both sides

3x=3

Make x the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 3

x=1

So the final answer is 1
