Solve equations with the distributive property

Full solution

Q.

3(x-3)=2x+6

Distribute and Simplify: First, distribute the $3$ into the parentheses. $3 \times x - 3 \times 3 = 2x + 6$ $3x - 9 = 2x + 6$
Combine Like Terms: Next, get all the $x$ terms on one side by subtracting $2x$ from both sides. $\newline$ $3x - 2x - 9 = 2x - 2x + 6$ $\newline$ $x - 9 = 6$
Isolate Variable: Then, add $9$ to both sides to solve for $x$ . $\newline$ $x - 9 + 9 = 6 + 9$ $\newline$ $x = 15$
