Solution

Sure, let's solve the equation step by step.

  1. Distribute the 3 into the parentheses: 33x - 35 = -51, which simplifies to 9x - 15 = -51.

  2. Add 15 to both sides to isolate the term with x on one side: 9x - 15 + 15 = -51 + 15, which simplifies to 9x = -36.

  3. Divide both sides by 9 to solve for x: 9x/9 = -36/9, which simplifies to x = -4.

So, the solution to the equation 3(3x - 5) = -51 is x = -4.
