Question

Solve for x: 9(x+1) = 25+X

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute

$9(x + 1) = 25 + x$

$(9 * x) + (9 * 1) = 25 + x$

$9x + 9 = 25 + x$

Step 2:  Subtract x from both sides

$9x + 9 - x = 25 + x - x$

$8x + 9 = 25$

Step 3:  Subtract 9 from both sides

$8x + 9 - 9 = 25 - 9$

$8x = 16$

Step 4:  Divide both sides by 8

$8x / 8 = 16 / 8$

$x = 2$

Answer:  $x = 2$

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$9(x+1) = 25+x$      

Distribute the 9:

  $9x+9=25+x$      

   

Subtract x on both sides:

  $8x+9=25$                      

   

Subtract 9 on both sides:

        $8x=16$    

                           

Divide both sides by 8:

          $x=2$
