X=

Question

anonymous · Answer

Something like this? $$\frac{ 9x-6 }{ 3 }=2x+3$$

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ 1}{ 3} (9x-6)=2x+3$$

anonymous · Answer

That is what I wrote...anyway we need to simplify the left side of the equation. How would you do that?

anonymous · Answer

the Parentheses' first and then the rest

anonymous · Answer

How do we get rid of the 3?  $$1/3 (9x-6) = \frac{ 9x-6 }{ 3 }$$

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ 9x -6 }{ 3 }= What$$

anonymous · Answer

No you do not understand. 1/3 times 9x -6  is the same as 9x-6 /3.$$\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }x \frac{ 9x-6 }{ 1 } = \frac{ 9x -6 }{ 3 }$$

anonymous · Answer

oh okay sorry

anonymous · Answer

No problemo.

So how do you simplify 9x-6 /3?

anonymous · Answer

Divide each term above the line by 3. 

So 9x divided by 3 equals what?   

And -6 divided by 3 equals what?

anonymous · Answer

3x and -2

igreen · Answer

First we simplify:

$\dfrac{1}{3}(9x - 6)$

Can you multiply these?

$\dfrac{1}{3} \times 9x$

$\dfrac{1}{3} \times -6$

anonymous · Answer

please help

anonymous · Answer

3 and 2

igreen · Answer

Actually that would be 3x and -2.

igreen · Answer

So we have:

$3x - 2 = 2x + 3$

Add 2 to both sides:

$3x = 2x + 5$

Subtract 2 to both sides, what's 3x - 2x? @Alpha_Female_Wolf02
