Question

I need help on knowing whether this is a solvable equation. Along with reasons why. HELP IF YOU CAN :))

Answer 1

To check if x = 9 is the solution, we need to replace every x with 9 and simplify

(3+x)/4 = 3

(3+9)/4 = 3

12/4 = 3

3 = 3

We get the same thing on both sides, so the last equation is a true equation. This means that the first equation is a true equation when x = 9. Therefore, the solution x = 9 is confirmed.
