Solve for x 3x+5+6x=32

$3 x + 5 + 6 x = 32$

Step 1

Add $3 x$ and $6 x$ .

$9 x + 5 = 32$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $5$ from both sides of the equation.

$9 x = 32 - 5$

Subtract $5$ from $32$ .

$9 x = 27$

Step 3

Divide each term in $9 x = 27$ by $9$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $9 x = 27$ by $9$ .

$\frac{9 x}{9} = \frac{27}{9}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $9$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{9 x}{9} = \frac{27}{9}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{27}{9}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $27$ by $9$ .

$x = 3$
