Question Find the value of xx in the linear equation 3x+2x=11x+93x + 2 - x = 11x + 9.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given equation is 3x+x=11x+93x + - x =11x +9 . We are solving for xx

STEP 2

First, we simplify the equation by combining like terms on both sides.On the left side of the equation, we combine xx and x-x.
xx+2=11x+9x - x +2 =11x +9

STEP 3

Now, simplify the left side of the equation.
2x+2=11x+92x +2 =11x +9

STEP 4

Next, we need to isolate xx on one side of the equation. We can start by subtracting 2x2x from both sides of the equation.
2x2x+2=11x2x+92x -2x +2 =11x -2x +9

STEP 5

implify both sides of the equation.
2=9x+92 =9x +9

STEP 6

Now, subtract 99 from both sides of the equation to isolate xx.
29=9x+992 -9 =9x +9 -9

STEP 7

implify both sides of the equation.
7=9x-7 =9x

STEP 8

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by $$ to solve for $x$.
x=7/x = -7 /So, xx is equal to 7/-7/.
