Answer 1

x=7

Explanation:

First, I wrote down the equation.

3x+6=36-9

Then, I simplified it.

3x+6=27

Then, I moved the six from the right to the left.

3x=21

After that, I divided both sides by 3.

x=7

Yay! You got your answer!

Answer 2

x=7

Explanation:

CE = 36

CE = 9+(3x+6) = 9+6+3x = 15+3x

36= 15+3x

36-15 = 15-15+3x (removing 15 from left side also means removing 15 from right side)

21 = 3x

x= 21/3 = 7
