Heya!
Your question states: Solve for x in simplest form 15 = 1/3(x+9)
Answer: X = 36
Numerical Explanation:
1. Step by step
I. 15 = 1/3(x+9)
2. Simplify both sides of the equation:
II. 15 = 1/3x + 3
3. Flip the equation:
III. 1/3x + 3 = 15
4. Subtract 3 from both sides:
IV. 1/3 x +3 = 15
-3 -3
5. Multiply both sides by 3:
V. 3 * (1/3 x) = (3) * (12)
6. Final answer:
VI. x = 36

Answer:
x = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS:
Remember to follow PEMDAS and the left -> right rule.
PEMDAS:
Parenthesis
Exponent (& roots)
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
----------------
15 = 1/3(x + 9)
First, multiply 3 to both sides of the equation
(15)(3) = (1/3(x + 9))(3)
(15)(3) = x + 9
45 = x + 9
Next, to isolate the x, subtract 9 from both sides
45 (-9) = x + 9 (-9)
45 - 9 = x
36 = x
-----------
36 is your answer for x.
