Add the 2 like terms on the left
Answer:
35
Step-by-step explanation:
C=x+9, c+x=99, c=99-x
So we have two equations equal to c, c=x+9 and c=99-x, since c=c:
x+9=99-x
2x+9=99
2x=90
x=45, and since c=x+9, c=54
So Charlie weighs 54 kg and his brother weighs 45 kg.
Multiply all terms by 12/1 to get rid of fractions.
8x+2= -9x+12
Add 9x to both sides
17x+2=12
Subtract 2 from both sides
17x=10
Divide both sides by 17
x=10/17
Final answer: x=10/17
