Solve the inequality below to determine and state the state the smallest possible
value for x in the solution set. 3(x + 3) = 5x – 3


Sagot :

6 = X

1- distribute the 3 on the left side of the equation
2- subtract the variable term by the other one
3- subtract the whole terms by each other
4- divide the variable term by its number next to x and the whole term by the variable number

Answer: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1): Distribute 3(x + 3), which is 3x + 9

2): Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation

   3x + 9 =5x - 3

   3x + 9-9 = 5x - 3-9

3): Simplify.

   3x = 5x - 12

4): Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation

   3x - 5x = 5x - 12 -5x

   -2x = -12

5): Divide both sides off the equation by the same term

   -2x/2 = -12/2

6): Solution = x = 6
