3(x-3) = -2x + 31 what is the value of x?

x=8 is the answer for the question

x= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Expand.

3x-9=-2x+31

2. Add 9 to both sides.

3x=-2x+31+9

3. Simplify  -2x+31+9  to -2x+40.

3x=-2x+40

4. Add 2x to both sides.

3x+2x=40

5. Simplify  3x+2x+5x.

5x=40

6. Divide both sides by 5.

x = 40/5

7. Simplify 40/5 to 8.

x=8

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
