1- distribute the 3 on the left side of the equation
2- subtract the variable term by the other one
3- subtract the whole terms by each other
4- divide the variable term by its number next to x and the whole term by the variable number

Answer: x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
1): Distribute 3(x + 3), which is 3x + 9
2): Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation
3x + 9 =5x - 3
3x + 9-9 = 5x - 3-9
3): Simplify.
3x = 5x - 12
4): Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation
3x - 5x = 5x - 12 -5x
-2x = -12
5): Divide both sides off the equation by the same term
-2x/2 = -12/2
6): Solution = x = 6
