Question

(-4x+9) = (8x-3) find the value of x

Answer 1

`\left(-4x+9\right)=\left(8x-3\right)\quad :\quad x=1`

Answer 2

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

expand form.

do parenthesis first it's got to be remove.

`-4x+9=8x-3`

subtract by 9 both sides of an equation.

`-4x+9-9=8x-3-9`

simplify by equation form.

`-4x=8x-12`

then you subtract by 8x both sides of an equation.

`-4x-8x=8x-12-8x`

simplify by equation form again.

`-12x=-12`

therefore, you can also divide by -12 both sides of an equation.

`(-12x)/(-12)= (-12)/(-12)`

finally, simplify equation.

`\boxed{x=1}`

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
