I have never been good at this! Solve for x. -6x + 11 -9x + 2
i just need some guidance on how to get to the answer and so i can learn it
i always like to start off by isolating my variables to one side and the constants to the other side. A good trick to to determine the larger value with the variable and isolate variables to that side. -6x is bigger than -9x, so I move the -9x to the other side with -6x.
then move the constants(numbers with no variables) to the other side and divide.
So, add 9x to both sides and subtract 11 from both sides. only thing left is division.
gotta bolt. hope that helped.
Maybe i did something wrong because i got 1.125 haha
\[-6x+11=-9x+2\] after you add 9x to both sides you get \[3x+11=2\] now subtract 11 from both sides to get \[3x=-9\]
now divide. did that help?
haa yeah! i did it wrong haha i did it all weird! thanks! :)
life and wife are calling. I'm out.
