Question

Solve the equation for x:

3x – 17 = 9x + 7

A x = 4
B x = –4
C x = 610
D x = −610

Answer 1

the answer is B

Explanation:

i just got the question correct

Answer 2

3x - 17 = 9x + 7

Rearrange on same sides
-17 - 7 = 9x - 3x
-24 = 6x

Divide by 6 on either sides to isolate 6

`-(24)/(6) = (6x)/(6)`
6 and 6 cancels out
-4 = x

Answer is:
B. x = -4
