Simplifying
9 + -2x = 35
Solving
9 + -2x = 35
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + -2x = 35 + -9
Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0
0 + -2x = 35 + -9
-2x = 35 + -9
Combine like terms: 35 + -9 = 26
-2x = 26
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -13
Simplifying
x = -13
Let's say you have the equation
5x + 3y = 11
You are asked to test the ordered pair (1, 2) to see if it is a solution of the equation. A solution of the equation will make the equation a true statement. The ordered pair (1, 2) has 1 as its x-coordinate and 2 as its y-coordinate.
Substitute 1 for x and 2 for y in the equation. Then work it out to see if it is a true statement.
5x + 3y = 11
5(1) + 3(2) = 11
5 + 6 = 11
11 = 11
Since 11 = 11 is a true statement, the ordered pair (1, 3) is a solution of the equation.
