Answer:

[tex]x = - 8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Expand.

[tex]3x + 15 + 3x + 1 = - 32[/tex]

2) Simplify 3x + 15 + 3x + 1 to 6x + 16.

[tex]6x + 16 = - 32[/tex]

3) Subtract 16 from both sides.

[tex]6x = - 32 - 16[/tex]

4) Simplify -32 - 16 to -48.

[tex]6x = - 48[/tex]

5) Divide both sides by 6.

[tex]x = - \frac{48}{6} [/tex]

6) Simplify 48/6 to 8.

[tex]x = - 8[/tex]

Thus, the answer is x = -8.
