Solve for x

what are the steps to solve this?

9+6(x-5)=10-3(x-7)

Step 1: Apply distributive property.

  • 9 + 6(x - 5) = 10 - 3(x - 7)
  • 9 + 6x - 30 = 10 - 3x + 21
  • -21 + 6x = 31 - 3x

Step 2: Combine all like terms.

  • -21 + 6x = 31 - 3x
  • -21 - 31 = -6x - 3x
  • -52 = -9x

Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by -9 and simplify.

  • -52/-9 = -9x/-9
  • 52/9 = x

Answer:

  • The value of x is 52/9.
