Question

(3x-1) = (2x-9)
what does x equate to

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 9 to both sides of the equation:

3x - 1 + 9 = 2x - 9 + 9

3x + 8 = 2x

Now we can subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:

3x - 2x + 8 = 2x - 2x

x + 8 = 0

Finally, we can subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:

x + 8 - 8 = 0 - 8

x = -8

Therefore, x equals -8.
