Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

3 + 3(x + 2) = -24

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Distribute 3:                    3 + 3x + 6 = -24
2. Combine like terms:       3x + 9 = -24
3. Isolate x term:                 3x = -33
4. Isolate x:                          x = -11

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in x:                    3 + 3(-11 + 2) = -24
2. Add:                                     3 + 3(-9) = -24
3. Multiply:                               3 - 27 = -24
4. Subtract:                              -24 = -24

Here we see that -24 does indeed equal -24.

∴ x = -11 is the solution to the equation.
