Question

To solve the equation 6x + 3 = 9 for x, what operations must be

Answer 1

Answer:

Subtraction, and then division.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would subtract 3 on each side to undo the '3', and then divide by 6 on both sides to isolate 'x'.

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

Hope this helps.
