Question

(-4x+9) = (8x-3) find the value of x

Answer 1

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

expand form.

do parenthesis first it's got to be remove.

$-4x+9=8x-3$

subtract by 9 both sides of an equation.

$-4x+9-9=8x-3-9$

simplify by equation form.

$-4x=8x-12$

then you subtract by 8x both sides of an equation.

$-4x-8x=8x-12-8x$

simplify by equation form again.

$-12x=-12$

therefore, you can also divide by -12 both sides of an equation.

$\frac{-12x}{-12}= \frac{-12}{-12}$

finally, simplify equation.

$\boxed{x=1}$

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Answer 2

$\left(-4x+9\right)=\left(8x-3\right)\quad :\quad x=1$
