Final Answer: [tex]x = -6[/tex]
Steps/Reasons/Explanation:
Question: What is [tex]\frac{1}{3} (x + 15) = 3[/tex]?
Step 1: Simplify [tex]\frac{1}{3}(x + 15)[/tex] to [tex]\frac{x+15}{3}[/tex].
[tex]\frac{x + 15}{3} = 3[/tex]
Step 2: Multiply both sides by [tex]3[/tex].
[tex]x + 15 = 3[/tex] × [tex]3[/tex]
Step 3: Simplify [tex]3[/tex] × [tex]3[/tex] to [tex]9[/tex].
[tex]x + 15 = 9[/tex]
Step 4: Subtract [tex]15[/tex] from both sides.
[tex]x = 9 - 15[/tex]
Step 5: Simplify [tex]9 - 15[/tex] to [tex]-6[/tex].
[tex]x = -6[/tex]
