Question

What is the value of x in the equation 2(x−3)+9=3(x+1)+x?

a. x = −3
b. x = −1
c. x = 0
d. x = 3

Answer 1

x=0

Explanation:

1st Step(Plug in 0 for x): 2(0-3)+9=3(0+1)+x

2nd Step(Simplify): 2*(-3)+9=3*(1)+x

3rd Step(Multiply): -6+9=3+x

4th Step(Add): 3=3+x

5th Step(Subtract 3 from both sides): x=0

For any questions saying what is the value of x in the equation, just plug in one of the options from a,b,c,d. And work from there
