First subtract 3 from both sides of the equal sign.
9s + 3 = 57
- 3 -3
9s = 54
Then divide both sides by 9.
9s = 54
/9 /9
s = 6
You can check it by plugging it back into the equation.
9s + 3 = 57
9 * 6 + 3= 57
54 + 3 = 37
57 = 57
Yep! It's correct! :)
Hope that helped. Algebra can be tricky sometimes I know but it's really just balancing equations.

Answer:
12 sales
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of sales each man had.
For Salesman A, he earns $65 per sale; this is 65x.
For Salesman B, he earns $40 per sale; this is 40x. We also add to this his weekly salary of $300; this gives us 40x+300.
Since their pay was equal, set the two expressions equal:
65x = 40x+300
Subtract 40x from each side:
65x-40x = 40x+300-40x
25x = 300
Divide both sides by 25:
25x/25 = 300/25
x = 12
