Solve 3(x/3+48)=(3x)3

$$3 ( \frac { x } { 3 } + 48 ) = ( 3 x ) 3$$

Solve for x

$$x=18$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Cancel out 3 on both sides.

$$\frac{x}{3}+48=x\times 3$$

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

$$x+144=3x\times 3$$

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$x+144=9x$$

Subtract 9x from both sides.

$$x+144-9x=0$$

Combine x and -9x to get -8x.

$$-8x+144=0$$

Subtract 144 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-8x=-144$$

Divide both sides by -8.

$$x=\frac{-144}{-8}$$

Divide -144 by -8 to get 18.

$$x=18$$
