ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

opposite sides are equal in ||gram. set them equal and solve x first

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

9x+3 = 11x-17

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

solve x

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

square hater.... thr ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesnt go out well its a decimal

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope you wont get a decimal

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

9x+3 = 11x-17 subtract 9x

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

9x+3 = 11x-17 -9x -9x 3 = 2x - 17

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

add 17

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

3 = 2x - 17 +17 + 17 20 = 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide then

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes ! do it
