Question

3(x-1)=2x+9. Solve equation

Answer 1

the answer should be -12= 2x

Answer 2

Hello.

In order to solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable (in this case, the variable is x)

The first step is to use the Distributive Property and distribute 3:

`\mathrm{3(x-1)=2x+9}`

`\mathrm{3x-3=2x+9}`

Now, add 3 to both sides:

`\mathrm{3x-3+3=2x+9+3}`

`\mathrm{3x=2x+9+3}`

`\mathrm{3x=2x+12}`

Now, subtract 2x from both sides:

`\mathrm{3x-2x=2x-2x+12}\\\mathrm{3x-2x=12}`

`\mathrm{x=12}`

Therefore, the answer is

`\mathrm{x=12}`

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
