What is the solution to the equation 1/3 (9x-6) = 2x+3

Remember, you can do anything to an equaiton as long as you do it to both sides

try to get the unknown by itself

distributive property

a (b-c) = ab+ac

distribute first

1/3 (9x-6) = 9/3x-6/3=3x-2

now we have

3x-2=2x+3

minus 2x boh sies

3x-2x-2=2x-2x+3

1x-2=0+3

add 2 both sides

x+2-2=3+3

x+0=5

x=5
