Question

9(x +3) = 4x -3 cant figure it out

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$9\left(x+3\right)=4x-3$

Expand:

$9x+9\times3=4x-3$

$9x+27=4x-3$

Subtract 27 from both sides:

$9x+27-27=4x-3-27$

$9x=4x-30$

Subtract 4x from both sides:

$9x-4x=4x-30-4x$

$5x=-30$

Divide both sides by 5:

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-30}{5}$

$x=-6$
