Question

(5x – 7) – 9 = 3x + 6

Answer 1

X=11. Plugging it in, (5(11)-7)-9, is 39, 3(11)+6 is also 39. So X=11.

Answer 2

x = 11

Explanation:

Let's solve the equation step by step:

5x - 7 - 9 = 3x + 6

Combine like terms on both sides:

5x - 16 = 3x + 6

Next, we want to isolate x on one side. To do this, we'll move the 3x term to the left side by subtracting 3x from both sides:

2x - 16 = 6=

Now, add 16 to both sides to isolate x:

2x=22

Finally, divide both sides by 22 to solve for x:

x =11

So, the solution to the equation is x =11.
