Question

Find the value of x when 5x + 6 - 2x = 9.

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

combine the like terms

5x + 6 - 2x = 9

3x+6=9

then subtract 6 on both sides

3x=3

lastly divide 3 on both sides

x=1

Answer 2

Answer:

$5x + 6 - 2x = 9 \\ 5x - 2x = 9 - 6 \\ 3x = 3 \\ x = \frac{3}{3} \\ \boxed{x = 1}$

x=1 is the right answer.
