Question

How do you solve 9x + 18 +3x =1

Answer 1

9x+18+3=1
11x+18=1
11x=-17
17/11 I don't have a calculator

Answer 2

solve

9x + 18 + 3x = 1

Simplify both sides:

9x + 18 + 3x = 1

( 9x + 3x ) + ( 18 ) = 1

Combine Like Terms:

12x + 18 = 1

12x + 18 = 1

Subtract 18 from both sides:

12x + 18 - 18 = 1 - 18

12x = -17

Divide both sides by 12:

12x / 2 = -17 / 12

Answer: x = -17 / 12

Hope that helps!!!!!! : )
