Question

Can someone please Solve this equation for me 2x – 3 = 9

Answer 1

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

Our whole objective is to isolate the variable (x) by using inverse operations

2x-3=9

to get rid of the -3 we add 3

Remember whatever we do to one side we have to do to the other side so we add 3 to each side

-3+3 cancels out

9+3=12

now we have

12=2x

now to get rid of the 2 we divide by 2

so we divide each side by 2

2x/2=x

12/2=6

we´re left with

x=6
