Question

Solve for x.

9(x + 1) = 25 + x

x = 2
x = 3
x = 4
x = 5

Answer 1

9(x+1) = 25 + x
9x + 9 = 25 + x
9x - x = 25 - 9
8x= 16
x=2
so the valie of x is 2

Answer 2

The correct option is A)
`x=2`

Explanation:

We need to solve the given expression for x.

Given expression is
`9(x+1)=25+x`

`9(x+1)=25+x`

`9x+9=25+x`

Subtract both the sides by x, in above equation

`9x+9-x=25+x-x`

`8x+9=25`

Subtract both the sides by 9,

`8x+9-9=25-9`

`8x=16`

Divide both the sides by 8, in above equation

`x=(16)/(8)`

`x=2`

Therefore, the correct option is A)
`x=2`
