Part A





Replace every copy of 'x' with 'a'


Add 3 to both sides


Combine like terms


----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Part B





Replace every copy of 'x' with 'a+3'


Expand out


Combine like terms


----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Part C





Replace every copy of 'x' with 'g+b'
