Question

Solve for x. 9(x+1)=25+x x=2 0x=3 O x=4 O x=5

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

9(x+1) = 25+x

open the bracket

9x + 9 = 25+x

collect like terms

9x-x = 25-9

8x = 16

x = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

9(x + 1) = 25 + x ← distribute parenthesis on left side

9x + 9 = 25 + x ( subtract x from both sides )

8x + 9 = 25 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

8x = 16 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 2
