Solve the equation.

3(x−9)=30

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 9) = 30

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the binomial.

x - 9 = 10

Add 9 to both sides to isolate x.

x = 19

Check your answer by plugging x = 19 back into the equation.

3(x - 9) = 30

3(19 - 9) = 30

Subtract.

3(10) = 30

Multiply.

30 = 30

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!
