Answer:
= 6
Explanation:
Add 9 9 9 to both sides of the equation 5 − 9 = 3 + 3
5x-9=3x+3 5x−9=3x+3 5 − 9 + 9 = 3 + 3 + 9
Add the numbers
5=3+12
Subtract
3
3x3x
from both sides of the equation
5=3+12
5x=3x+125x=3x+12
5−3=3+12−3
Simplify
Combine like terms
2=12
Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
2=12
2x=122x=12
22=122
Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator
Divide the numbers
