3(3x-12)=9

To solve the equation \( 3(3x - 12) = 9 \), follow these steps:

1. Distribute the 3 on the left side: \[ 9x - 36 = 9 \]

2. Add 36 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \): \[ 9x = 9 + 36 \] \[ 9x = 45 \]

3. Divide both sides by 9 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{45}{9} \] \[ x = 5 \]

So, the solution to the equation \( 3(3x - 12) = 9 \) is \( x = 5 \).
