Question

What is the solution to this equation?

X-16=9
ΟΟ
A. x = 25
B. X = -7
C. X= 7
D. X = -25

Answer 1

A) x = 25

Explanation:

Given: x - 16 = 9

First collect like terms:

x - 16 = 9 (here, 9 and 16 are together)

-16 will become +16 when it comes to the other side.

x = 9 + 16

x = 25

Therefore, the answer will be A, x = 25

Answer 2

A. x = 25

Explanation:

To solve the equation X-16=9, we need to isolate the variable X on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 16 to both sides of the equation:

X - 16 + 16 = 9 + 16

Simplifying the left side of the equation, we get:

X = 25

Therefore, the solution to the equation is X = 25. The correct answer is A.
