Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x + 3) + (2x + 3) + (2x + 3) = 33
Combine 2x and 2x to get 4x.
4x + 3 + 3 + 2x + 3 = 33
Add 3 and 3 to get 6.
4x + 6 + 2x + 3 = 33
Combine 4x and 2x to get 6x.
6x + 6 + 3 = 33
Add 6 and 3 to get 9.
6x + 9 = 33
Subtract 9 from both sides.
6x = 33 − 9
Subtract 9 from 33 to get 24.
6x = 24
Divide both sides by 6.

Divide 24 by 6 to get 4.
[tex]x = 4[/tex]
