Answer:

Explanation:

It's hard to tell what you really intend. I'll do it both ways.

Way One

9 + x/6 = 11 Subtract 9 from both sides.

x/6 = 11 - 9

x/6 = 2 Multiply both sides by 6

x = 2 * 6

x = 12

1 + 3x = 1 + 3*12 = 1 + 36 = 37

Way Two

(9 + x)/6 = 11 Multiply both sides by 6

9 + x = 11 * 6 Simplify the right side

9 + x = 66 Subtract 9

x = 57

1 + 3*57 = 1 + 171 = 172
