Question 537171
{{{3x+3=x+9}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3x=x+9-3}}} Subtract {{{3}}} from both sides.



{{{3x-x=9-3}}} Subtract {{{x}}} from both sides.



{{{2x=9-3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{2x=6}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(6)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=3}}} Reduce.
