Second, you want x on a side by itself. So you would move 2 over to 9.5. But since 2 is positive, you would subtract 2 from 9.5
Third, you need to get x by itself. So you would divide by 3 on both sides because division cancels out multiplication which is what 3x is. And then you end up with 2.5
3x + 4 / 2 = 9.5
3x + 2 = 9.5
3x = 7.5
3x/3 = 905/3
x = 2.5
And if you want to check it, just substitute 2.5 for x
