Question

3x-9=23-5x what is these?

Answer 1

Hope this helps you..!!!

Answer 2

3x - 9 = 23 - 5x

Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

Isolate the x. First Add 5x to both sides, and add 9

3x (+5x) - 9 (+9) = 23 (+9) - 5x (+5x)

3x + 5x = 23 + 9

Combine like terms

8x = 32

Simplify. Isolate the x. Divide 8 from both sides

8x/8 = 32/8

x = 32/8

x = 4

4 is your answer for x.

hope this helps
