Explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

3 + 3(x + 2) = -24

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Distribute 3: 3 + 3x + 6 = -24
2. Combine like terms: 3x + 9 = -24
3. Isolate x term: 3x = -33
4. Isolate x: x = -11

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in x: 3 + 3(-11 + 2) = -24
2. Add: 3 + 3(-9) = -24
3. Multiply: 3 - 27 = -24
4. Subtract: -24 = -24

Here we see that -24 does indeed equal -24.

∴ x = -11 is the solution to the equation.
