Can you show me step by step how you would solve this multi-step equation? 3(x+3)-5=16

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
