Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
x- 9 = 5
Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. Add 9 to both sides of the equation:
x - 9 (+9) = 5 (+9)
x = 5 + 9
x = 14
x = 14 is your answer.

Let’s make an equation
Let’s say x = amount of years after
Smith = 8, mother = 42
3(8 + x) = 42 + x
24 + 3x = 42 + x
2x = 18, x = 9
Solution: after 9 years
Try to get the u’s on one side so for this to happen, you would subtract the four from both sides.
u - 4u = 7 - 4
combine like terms
-3u = 3
divide by -3
u = -1
