Answer:
x = 3
1. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.
6 + 5 = 3 + 1 4 6 + 5 − 5 = 3 + 1 4 − 5
2. Simplify
Subtract the numbers 6 = 3 + 9
3. Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.
6 = 3 + 9 6 − 3 = 3 + 9 − 3
4. Simplify.
Combine like terms - 3x = 9
5. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
3 = 9 3 3 = 9 3
6. Simplify
Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator Divide the numbers = 3
