Solve the following equation for x. 3x - 6 = 3

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 3x - 6 = 3 \), follow these steps:

  1. Add 6 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \( x \): \[ 3x - 6 + 6 = 3 + 6 \] This simplifies to: \[ 3x = 9 \]

  2. Next, divide both sides by 3 to solve for \( x \): \[ \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{9}{3} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 3 \]

So, the solution is \( x = 3 \).
