Question

If 6x - 9 = x, what is the value of x ?

Answer 1

Hey there,

Here's how you solve the following equation:

6x - 9 = x

1. The first step is to subtract 6x from both sides: -9 = -5x
2. Now we just divide by -5 from both sides:
   `(9)/(5)` = x

So the answer to the following equation would be x =
`(9)/(5)` .

Hope I helped,

Answer 2

x = 9/5

Explanation:

We want to combine like terms and isolate the variable (x) from the constants (regular numbers).

Subtract x from both sides:

`6x-9-x=x-x` ⇒
`5x-9=0`

Now add 9 to both sides:

`5x-9+9=0+9` ⇒
`5x=9`

Divide by 5 from both sides:

`5x/5=9/5` ⇒
`x=9/5`

Thus, the answer is x = 9/5.

Hope this helps!
