if five more than three times x is equal to 32, find the value of x.

it also says to show all work so that would really be appreciated!!

Respuesta :

5 + (3x) = 32
-5                -5

3x = 27
/3       /3

x = 9
First let's make the equation:

3x + 5 = 32

Now, let's subtract both sides by 5:

3x + 5 = 32
     -5     -5
3x       = 27

Now divide both sides by 3

x = 9

Hope this helps!
