Answer:
x=11/5, or x=2.2.
Step-by-step explanation:
9-3(x+4)=2(x-3)-8
9-3x-12=2x-6-8
9-12-3x=2x-14
-3-3x=2x-14
-3-3x-2x=-14
-3-5x=-14
5x=-3-(-14)
5x=-3+14
5x=11
x=11/5
x=2.2
Add all sides.
5x+2+3x+8+4x-1
Combine like terms
12x+9
Subtract nine to get it on the other side of the equal sign
12x= -9
Divide by twelve
x=-9/12
Simplify
x=-3/4
Plug in x.
