Question

What is the solution to the equation 6x+2=9x-1?
O X=-3
O x=-1
Ox=1
O X=3

Answer 1

x=1

Explanation:

6x+2=9x-1

You first want to isolate the variable to one side, so subtract 6x and 9x

2=9x-1

-6x

2=3x-1

Now you want to get rid of the constant, so add 1 to the other side

2=3x

+1

3=3x

Now divide both sides by 3 to remove the 3 from x.

3/3=3x/3

1=x
