Question

6x-2=7x+9 find x plz help

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=-11$

Step-by-step explanation:

$6x-2=7x+9$

Add 2 to both sides:

$6x-2+2=7x+9+2$

$6x=7x+11$

Subtract 7x from both sides:

$6x-7x=7x+11-7x$

$-x=11$

Divide both sides by -1:

$\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{11}{-1}$

$x=-11$

Answer 2

Answer:

X= -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

6x + -2 = 7x + 9

Reorder the terms:

-2 + 6x = 7x + 9

Reorder the terms:

-2 + 6x = 9 + 7x

Solving

-2 + 6x = 9 + 7x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.

-2 + 6x + -7x = 9 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 6x + -7x = -1x

-2 + -1x = 9 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0

-2 + -1x = 9 + 0

-2 + -1x = 9

Add '2' to each side of the equation.

-2 + 2 + -1x = 9 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0

0 + -1x = 9 + 2

-1x = 9 + 2

Combine like terms: 9 + 2 = 11

-1x = 11

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = -11

Simplifying

x = -11
