Question

What would you do to isolate the variable in the equation below, using only one

Answer 1

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation

Answer 2

Answer:

O Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that on the left hand side of the equation, you have two parts: X and 9. The variable is X, so we must do something to the 9 to remove it. Remember that we can cancel things by adding the negative of it. For example, 47+(-47)=0. Therefore, the opposite of 9 is -9. That essentially means subtracting 9.
