Math Problem Statement

-3(x+3)=-9x+15

Solution

Let's solve the equation step by step.

The given equation is:

3(x+3)=9x+15-3(x + 3) = -9x + 15

Step 1: Distribute the 3-3 on the left side.

3x9=9x+15-3x - 9 = -9x + 15

Step 2: Move the variable terms to one side of the equation.

Add 9x9x to both sides:

3x+9x9=15-3x + 9x - 9 = 15

Combine like terms:

6x9=156x - 9 = 15

Step 3: Move the constant term to the other side of the equation.

Add 9 to both sides:

6x=246x = 24

Step 4: Solve for xx.

Divide both sides by 6:

x=4x = 4

Final Answer:

The solution to the equation is x=4x = 4.
