You have to get rid of the 3 and the operation that is happening between the 2x and 3 is addition so you must do the opposite which is subtract .
2x+3-3=9-3
Cross out the 3's . What you do to one side do it to the other side .So subtract 3 from both sides .
2x÷2=6÷2
Now to get rid of the 2 you divide because the operation that is happening between the 2 and x is multiplication.And what u do to one side do it to the other . So
x= 3
Hope this helps and sorry if you don't under the explanation
