Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 3) - 5 = 16

First, distribute the 3 on the left side.

3x + 9 - 5 = 16

Now, combine like terms on the left side.

3x + 4 = 16

Subtract 4 from both sides.

3x = 12

Divide both sides by 3.

x = 4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first distribute the 3 to (x+3) resulting in 3x+9-5+16

then combine the 9 and -5 which equals 3x+4=16

then subtract the 4 from both sides and you will get 3x=12

and divide the 3 to get x by itself and you will get an answer of x=4
