Question

Can someone solve 9 = x - 5 + 8 STEP BY STEP PLEASE?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

first, remember to simplify each side of the equation

so, 9=x+3, because -5+8=3

9=x+3

remember, you must isolate x by reversing the operation that is done on x

so, right now 3 is being added to x.

So, to reverse, you have to subtract 3, but remember, what is done to one side must be done to both

9=x+3

-3    -3

6=x
