x =

Answer 2

@freckles

Answer 3

can you divide 9 and 6 by 3?

Answer 4

yes u can

Answer 5

\[\frac{9}{3}x-\frac{6}{3}=2x+3\]
well then apply that here

Answer 6

which would be 5x

Answer 7

9 divided by 3 isn't 5?

Answer 8

oh sorry was doing problem to the right so it would be like 3 right

Answer 9

9/3=3
6/3=?

Answer 10

2

Answer 11

\[\frac{9}{3}x-\frac{6}{3}=2x+3 \\ 3x-2=2x+3\]

Answer 12

so I replaed 9/3 with 3 and I replaced 6/3 with 2
because 9/3=3 and 6/3=2

Answer 13

now do you know what to do next?

Answer 14

no not really

Answer 15

you can start a number of ways
but the objective is to isolate the x term

So we want to gather non-x terms on one side
and gather x terms on the opposite side

Answer 16

You can start by adding and subtracting some terms on both sides

Answer 17

you see you have the term 2x on the right side
you can put it with its buddy on the left side by subtracting 2x on both sides

Answer 18

so that would lead to i seroiulsy dont know sorry

Answer 19

Just try putting a -2x on both sides of the equation

Answer 20

what is 2x-2x=?

Answer 21

0x

Answer 22

and 0 times anything is 0

Answer 23

2x-2x=0x or just 0

Answer 24

so the answer is 0

Answer 25

that cant be right

Answer 26

that is the whole reason we subtracted 2x on the right hand side
now whatever we do to one side we do to the other
you need now subtract 2x on the other side

--
of course it isn't
we are not done

Answer 27

oh ok it getting late so i need to hurry

Answer 28

ok well have you put a -2x on both sides yet?

Answer 29

\[\\ 3x-2=2x+3 \\ 3x-2-2x=2x+3-2x \\ 3x-2x-2 =2x-2x+3\]
you already did the 2x-2x on the right
now you have to do the 3x-2x on the left

Answer 30

i really suck at math so odnt get it would it be wait which answer would i work out

Answer 31

i 2 or 3

Answer 32

so you don't know how to do 3x-2x?

Pretend you have 3 dollars and someone takes one away from you.
How many dollars do you have left?

Answer 33

or if you have 3 dollars and someone takes 2 away from you

Answer 34

oh o know that but like thats it or do we do the equation that would leave u with 1 dollar xd

Answer 35

so the answers one

Answer 36

3x-2x =1x

you keep on thinking we found x...
you will know you have x
when we have x=a number

Answer 37

so go to equation above that I have and replace 3x-2x with 1x
and 2x-2x with 0
and tell me what equation you have now

Answer 38

which would be 2 right or what i really suck so i dont get this

Answer 39

does x = 5

Answer 40

3x-2x-2=2x-2x+3
1x-2=0+3
x-2=3

and yes by adding 2 on both sides you get x=5

Answer 41

ok cool thanks
