Question

What does x equal if the equation is 4x+15=9x

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

Collect constant terms to RHS and Simplify

4x + 15 + (-15) = 9x + -15

4x = 9x - 15

Collect Terms with:- x to LHS and SImplify

4x + 9x = 9x - 15 + 9x

-5x = -15

Divide both sides by (-5) and Simplify

-5x = -15

-5x/-5 = -15/-5

x = 3

Answer 2

x=3

Explanation:

4x+15=9x

-4x on both sides

15=5x

Divide equation by 5 on both sides
