Question

9(3+x)=4(3+x)
Answer with steps

Answer 1

x = -3

Explanation:

9(3+x) = 4(3+x)

9(3+x) - 4(3+x) = 0

(9-4)(3+x) = 0

5(3+x) = 0

15+5x = 0

-15 = 5x

x = -3

Answer 2

x = 2.5

Explanation:

• Expand the brackets
• 
  `27+9x=12+3x`
• Subtract 3x from both sides
• 
  `27+6x=12`
• Subtract 27 from both sides
• 
  `6x=-15`
• Divide both sides by 6
• 
  `x=2.5`
