3(x-5)=6
You distribute the 3 and get 3x-15=6
3x-15=6
Move the 15 over by adding 15 to -15 and 15 to 6 BECAUSE you need to get the x to one side. You get 3x=21
3x=21
You have to get x alone, so divide x by 3 and 21 and get x=7
THE ANSWER IS: x=7
Remember- anything you do to one side you have to do to the other
