Question

Solve for x can you help please

Answer 1

x = 13

Explanation:

23 - 9 = 14

14 / 2 = 7

So both sides should equal to 7.

Set the two expression equal to each other and solve.
x - 6 = 2x - 19

move the 6 to the other side by adding

x = 2x - 19 + 6

x = 2x - 13

then move 2x to the other side by subtracting

x - 2x = -13

-x = -13

divide both sides by -1 to get x

x = -13/-1

x = 13

Check.
plug 13 in for x

x - 6

13 - 6 = 7

2x - 19

2(13) - 19

26 - 19 = 7

so both expressions are equal to each other now and

7 x 2 = 14

14 + 9 = 23

thus x = 13
