Question

Solve the equation:
​

Answer 1

hi

9+5x = 3x+12

5x -3x = 12 -9

2x = 3

x = 3/2

x = 1.5

check :

9 + 5 (1.5) = 9 + 7.5 = 16.5

3 (1.5) +12 = 4.5 +12 = 16.5

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

9 + 5x = 3x + 13

move all like terms to one side

5x - 3x = 13 - 9

2x = 4

divide both sides by 2

x = 2

Hope this makes sense!
