3+4x=9-2x My answer= no solution Is this correct?
no that is not correct

next
well if 6x = 6, then x = ???
divide 6 from both sides and you get your x
6x means 6 times x x is some number
so my answer is x
?
6x = 6 divide both sides by 6 to get x = ??
what is 6/6=..?
1
so x = 1
You can check this answer by plugging it back into the original equation and simplifying
To solve an equation with a variable on both sides, there are three steps you must follow. You need to: 1. Simply the expressions that are on both sides of the equation, and use the distributive property if you need to. 2. Use Subtraction and Addition Properties of Equality to move both variables to one side and numbers without variables (constants). 3. Then finally use the Multiplication and Division Properties of Equality to reach the final answer. You have made it to 6x=6, so now you need to divide both sides by six to find the answer, because what you do to one side, you must do to the other. So solve 6 divided by 6x, and you will have your final answer. Plug what x equals back into equation to check your answer. If you do this, and both sides are equal to each other, you have the right answer. This will not be true however if the answer is No Solution.

no offense, but saying "dot dot dot" helps no one figure out where you're stuck
