Question

Complete the steps to solve the equation. 9 – 4x = 2x 1. Addition property of equality: 9 = 6x 2. Division property of equality: = x

Answer 1

x = 3/2

Explanation:

Given:

9 - 4x = 2x

Step 1: Addition property of equality

9 - 4x + 4x = 2x + 4x

9 = 6x

Step 2: Division property of equality:

9 = 6x

9/6 = 6x/6

9/6 = x

x = 9/6

= 3/2

x = 3/2

Check:

9 - 4x = 2x

9 - 4(3/2) = 2(3/2)

9 - 12/2 = 6/2

9 - 6 = 3

3 = 3
