3x-9=7x+14 solve for x

Sagot :

Answer:

x= - 23/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Add  9  to both sides of the equation:

3x -9 = 7x +14

3x- 9 + 9 = 7x +14 +9

Simplify:

3x -9 + 9 = 7x +14 +9

3x = 7x +14 +9

3x =7x +14 +9

Subtract 7x from both sides of the equation:

3x= 7x +23

3x -7x = 7x +23 - 7x

Simplify Again:

3x -7x = 7x +23 -7x

-4x =23

Combine like terms:

-4x =23

Divide both sides of the equation by the same terms:

14x/ 14  = 23/ -4

Cancel terms that are both the numerator and the denominator:

x= - 23/- 4

Answer:

x= - 23/4
