first you add x and 2x, which becomes 3x
3x+3=75
then you subtract 3 from 3 on the left side of the =sign and you also subtract 3 from the other side-75-3=72-the three's on the left side of the equal sign cancel each other out and it leaves you with:
3x = 72
then you divide both sides by 3, which gives you
x=24

x+2x+3=75
add x and 2x to make 3x
3x+3=75
subtract 3 from both sides
3x+3=75
-3 -3
3x=72
now divide by 3 on both sides and the answer would be....
x=24

I presume that capital X equals small x.
then you have 3x + 3 = 75.
divide both sides by 3;
and x+1=25.
So x=24.
or, 3x=72, if you first subtract 3 from both sides, and still, then divide by 3, and
x=24.

x + 2x + 3 = 75
add like terms
3x + 3 = 75
x on one side, subtrct 3 from both sides
3x = 72
didvide each side by 3
x = 24

solve for x?
subtract 3 from 75: 72
combine the x's: 3x
3x +72
divide 72 by 3 and you get your answer.
