Question

Solve 3x - 9 + x > 27

Answer 1

to solve problems like these, generally you have to add the like terms together first. in this case, add 3x and x together. Then, you get 4x. So your problem looks like this thus far:

4x-9>27

then, add 9 to both sides

4x-9>27
+9 +9
--------
4x>36

divide both sides by 4

4x>36
/4 /4

x=?

So what's the answer? @IhateMathDotCom

Answer 8

36/4 actually equals 9, so that means x=9. That's the answer to the problem

Okay thanks :D Because my teacher never teaches us this in class. And when she does, she stops to insult someone and create a reason to leave class, leaving us confused.
