Remove 3 from one side of the equation. |dw:1435765198398:dw|

A. dude
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3x-3=15. You add 3 to each side. that should give you 3x=18. Then you divide each side by 3 and that should give you x=6. So the answer is A.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It is not D.

ohh yes! it's A :D lol
OpenStudy (barrelracer17):
Answer is x=6
OpenStudy (barrelracer17):
Because what you do is move the 3 over to the 15 to leave 3x by itself then you do 15+3=18 then divide the 3x to 18
