Question 338658

{{{3(5x-1)=3x+3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{15x-3=3x+3}}} Distribute.



{{{15x=3x+3+3}}} Add {{{3}}} to both sides.



{{{15x-3x=3+3}}} Subtract {{{3x}}} from both sides.



{{{12x=3+3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{12x=6}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(6)/(12)}}} Divide both sides by {{{12}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=1/2}}} Reduce.
