Question

Solve the equation and write a reason for each step 4x+9=-3x+2

Answer 1

4x+9=-3x+2
1) rearrange the equation to have the x in one side and the numbers in the other side
4x+3x=2-9
2) add (4+3)x and subtract (2-9) to know the value of x
7x=-7
3) divide each side by 7 to have the value of 1 x
x=-1

Answer 2

-1

Explanation:

4x+9=-3x+2

=> 7x=-7 move all x to left side and numbers to right side by changing + to - or - to +

x=-1
