First, let's expand the right side. Now our equation is

Now, we gather all the terms with x in it on the left side, and the numbers without x on the right. We get:

And then we can make this

We divide both sides by 12 to get x on its own, so x = 13/12 or 1.08
Answer:
- 2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 ( x + 5 ) = 9

x + 5 = 3
x = 3 - 5
x = - 2
