3 (x+2) = 6 (x-1) + 3

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (x + 2) = 6 (x - 1) + 3

Divide both sides by 3.

x + 2 = 2 (x - 1) + 1

Distribute the 2 on the right side.

x + 2 = 2x - 2 + 1

Combine like terms on the right side.

x + 2 = 2x - 1

Add 1 to both sides. Subtract x from both sides.

3 = x

x = 3
