Answer:


\boxed{\sf{x=3}}

Explanation:

The only thing you need to do to solve this problem is to isolate the term x from one side of the equation.

x+9=12

First, subtract by 9 from both sides.


\sf{x+9-9=12-9}

Solve.


\sf{12-9=3}


\boxed{\sf{x=3}}

Therefore, the final answer is x=3.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.

Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

x + 9 = 12

To solve the equation, we have to isolate 'x'.

To isolate x, subtract 9 from both sides.

x + 9 - 9 = 12 - 9

x = 3
