Question

9x-3-8x=7-x solve for x

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

9x-3-8x=7-x solve for x

9x - 3 - 8 x = 7 - x

x - 3 = 7 - x

2x = 10

x = 10 : 2

x = 5

-----------------

check

9 * 5 - 3 - 8 * 5 = 7 - 5

2 = 2

the answer is good

Answer 2

x = 5

Explanation:

Simplify both sides :

• 9x - 3 - 8x = 7 - x
• x - 3 = 7 - x

Add 3 to each side :

• x - 3 + 3 = 7 - x + 3
• x = 10 - x

Add x to each side :

• x + x = 10 - x + x
• 2x = 10

Divide by 2 on each side :

• 2x/2 = 10/2
• x = 5
