Question

3(2x+1) =9 Show work please

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(2x+1)=9

Distribute left side

3(2x+1)=9

3(2x)+3(1)=9

6x+3=9

Subtract 3 on both sides

6x+3=9

6x+3-3=9-3

6x=6

Divide both sides by 6 to isolate "x"

6x=6

6x/6=6/6

x=1

Final answer

x=1

Answer 2

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x+1)= 9

(3x2x) + 1 =9

6x+3=9

6x-3=9-3

6x=6

6x/6=6/6

x=1
