Question

If 6x - 9 = x, what is the value of x ?

Answer 1

Hey there,

Here's how you solve the following equation:

                        6x - 9 = x

1. The first step is to subtract 6x from both sides:                                             -9 = -5x
2. Now we just divide by -5 from both sides:                                                      $\frac{9}{5}$ = x

So the answer to the following equation would be x = $\frac{9}{5}$ .

Hope I helped,

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 9/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to combine like terms and isolate the variable (x) from the constants (regular numbers).

Subtract x from both sides:

$6x-9-x=x-x$ ⇒ $5x-9=0$

Now add 9 to both sides:

$5x-9+9=0+9$ ⇒ $5x=9$

Divide by 5 from both sides:

$5x/5=9/5$ ⇒ $x=9/5$

Thus, the answer is x = 9/5.

Hope this helps!
