Answer:

x=5

Explanation:

First, distribute the left side. 3(3x-2)=39 3 x 3x=9x 3 x -2=-6 m So, we get 9x-6=39

Next, we add six to both sides. We get 9x=45.

Lastly , we divide both sides by 9 and get x=5.

Plug x=5 into the place where x is to check your work. 3(3(5) - 2)=39

3(15-2)=39 3(13)=39 39=39 Since 39 is equal to 39, the equation is true.
