The value of x in the expression is 3

Using the expression given for our Calculation ;

  • 15x + 8 = 9x + 26

Collect like terms

15x - 9x = 26 - 8

6x = 18

divide both sides by 6 to isolate x

6x/6 = 18/6

x = 3

Hence, the value of x is 3.

Complete Question :

Solve for x. (9x + 26) = (15x + 8)

Solve for x. (15x+8) (9x+26)-example-1
