3 (4x+5) = 33 What's the value of x

the answer would be 20

x=3/2 or 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we have to get x by itself. To do this, perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation.

3 (4x+5) = 33

First, divide both sides by 3, since 3 is being multiplied by 4x+5

3 (4x+5) / 3=33/3

4x+5=11

Next, subtract 5 from both sides, since it is being added to 4x

4x+5-5=11-5

4x=6

Divide both sides by 4, since 4 is being multiplied by x

4x/4=6/4

x=6/4

x=3/2 or 1.5
