Question

5) Solve 9x = 7x + 12

Answer 1

Answer:

X=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the variable to get 9x-7x=12

collect like terms to get 2x=12

divide to get 6

Answer 2

Fist, write the equation as you see it:

7x + 12 = 9x

Next you have to put all the x’s on one side, whenever you move a number from one side to another it changes its sign (if it’s + it becomes - and if it’s - it becomes +)

7x - 9x = -12

Next add the x’s together:

-2x = -12

Then you must divide the two negive number which leave you with:

x = 6

The answer is x = 6.

Hope this helps!:)
