Answer 3

So, we have two equations that we solve individually.
4x+3=9+2x
4x+3=−9−2x


4x+3=9+2x
Subtract 3 from both sides.
4x=6+2x
Subtract 2x from both.
2x=6
Divide both sides by 2.
x=62=3 then i did the same for the second equation and got my answer but she said it was wrong

Answer 10

I got that too, weird

Answer 11

what did you do to get that answer

Answer 12

>> x=62=3 is not true. Look at it. If your teacher is looking at your work, this won't go over well.

It is supposed to be 6/2.

The work appears to be generated by some online site. I'm not saying it is. But, I bet the teacher thinks that and is looking at every little thing about the solution.
