Question

subtract 3x from each side to rewrite the equation.
3(x + 6) = 3x + 18
3x + 18 = 3x + 18

• 3x - 3x

□ = □

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify left side

Left side: \(3x + 18 - 3x\). Combine like terms \(3x - 3x = 0\), so left side becomes \(18\).

Step2: Simplify right side

Right side: \(3x + 18 - 3x\). Combine like terms \(3x - 3x = 0\), so right side becomes \(18\).

Answer:

Left box: \(18\), Right box: \(18\)
