The answer is x = 3

When you solve, first thing you do is multiply 1/3 into 2x + 3 so that the equation becomes 2x/3 + 1 = 3. Then, you can eliminate 1 so it becomes 2x/3 = 2. Finally multiply both sides by 3/2 to eliminate the 2/3 so that leaves us with x = 6/2 or x = 3. We can also double check my answer. 1/3 (2(3) + 3) = 3 will become 1/3 (6 + 3) = 3. Then, 1/3 (9) = 3. And then, 9/3 = 3 and 3 = 3. I hope this helps you, please correct me if I’m wrong!

Answer:

x=3

Explanation:

1/3 (2x+3) =3

Multiply each side by 3

1/3 *3(2x+3) =3*3

2x+3 = 9

Subtract 3 from each side

2x+3-3 = 9-3

2x = 6

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 6/2

x = 3
