Given:

The given equation is
3(a+3)=15

We need to determine the solution of the given equation.

Solution of the equation:

Step 1: To determine the value of a, first, we shall divide both sides of the equation by 3.

Thus, we get;


(3(a+3))/(3)=(15)/(3)

Simplifying, we get;


a+3=5

Thus, dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get
a+3=5

Step 2: Finallly, subtracting both sides of the equation by 3, we have;


a+3-3=5-3

Simplifying, we get;


a=2

Thus, subtacting 3 from both sides of the equation, we have,
a=2

Hence, the solution of the equation is
a=2
