Answer: 4 = x

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation, we start by

distributing the 3 through the parenthses on the right side.

3(3x) is 9x and 3(-6) is -18.

So our equation now reads 18 = 9x - 18.

Our next step is to get the x term by itself on the right side.

So we add 18 to both sides to get 36 = 9x.

Now divide both sides by 9 to get 4 = x.

Answer:

x=4

Explanation:

18 = 3(3x − 6)

Divide each side by 3

18/3 = 3( 3x-6)/3

6 = 3x-6

Add 6 to each side

6+6 = 3x-6+6

12 = 3x

Divide by 3

12/3 = 3x/3

4 =x
