OpenStudy (aripotta):

x + 6/ 6 = x + 9/7

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

\[\frac{x+6}{6}=\frac{x+9}{7}\] \(7(x+6)=6(x+9)\) \(7*x+7*6=6*x+6*9\) \(7x+42=6x+54\)

can u solve for x @alainabbyboo22?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i solve for x ?

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

Follow the steps. 1.Subtract 6x both sides 2.Subtract 42 both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm still confused ): can you set it up for me ? like what do i subtract 6 by and what do i subtract 42 by ?

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

7x+42=6x+54 Subtract 6x both sides 7x+42-6x=6x+54-6x x+42=54 subtract 42 both sides x+42-42=54-42 x=12 Is it clear?
