Hi there!

Answer:

x=5

*Answer must have a positive sign.*

Explanation:

Lesson: Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication/and Division Properties of equality

First, you add by 6 from both sides of an equation.


4x-6+6=x+9+6

Simplify.


4x=x+15

Then you subtract by x from both sides of an equation.


4x-x=x+15-x

Simplify.


3x=15

Next, you divide by 3 from both sides of an equation.


(3x)/(3)=(15)/(3)

Finally, you divide by the numbers from left too right.


15/3=5

Final answer is x=5

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)
