Answer in at least TWO COMPLETE SENTENCES.

Answer 1

3×-6=3

3×=3+6

3×=9

×=3

Explanation:

multiply 3 by the variables in the bracket.

then you will get 3×-6=3.

take the -6 to the right hand side and it becomes+6

then you get 3×=3+6 therefore =3×=9

then divide both sides by 3.

3×÷3 and 9÷3

×=3
