Question

Equation below has one solution.

9 x minus 10 = 3 x + 2

What is the solution to the equation?

Answer 1

x = -30⅔ or -30.666.... *repeating*

Explanation:

to find out the missing variable you have to isolate the variable.

`9 * ( - 10) = 3x + 2 \\ - 90 = 3x + 2 \\ - 90 - 2= 3x + 2 - 2 \\ - 92 = 3x \\ - 92 / 3 = 3x / 3 \\ - 30.6666.... \: or \: - 30 (2)/(3)`

Answer 2

X=2. As you write out the equation your first step is to isolate the variable, do 3x-9x=6x then add 10 to 2 you equation is 6x=12 them divide each side by 2 and you get x=2
