Question

Solve the linear equation.9x + 3 = 7x + 43The solution set is

Answer 1

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation

Given linear equation:

`9x+3=7x+43`

Combine the like terms in the given linear equation:

`\begin{gathered} 9x-7x=43-3 \\ 2x=40 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 2

`\begin{gathered} (2x)/(2)=(40)/(2) \\ x=20 \end{gathered}`

The solution set is x = 20
