Question

Solve 3 (x+4) = 3 help solve this equation

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-3

You multiply what's in parentheses by 3 and to get x by itself you have to subtract 12 from that side which leaves you with 3x= -9. You then divide by 3 to get x=-3. To check this you fill -3 into the equation and you get the correct answer, 3.
