Question

Solve for x

332X+9=1400X+25

Answer 1

we need to get all the x terms on one side and everything else on the other side.
332x + 9 = 1400x + 25
first subtract 332 from both sides of the equal sign. Can you do that ?

Answer 2

oops...subtract 332x from both sides

Answer 3

1068

Answer 4

Alright i got it

Answer 5

like this..
332x + 9 = 1400x + 25 --subtract 332x from both sides
332x - 332x + 9 = 1400x - 332x + 25 -- combine like terms
9 = 1068x + 25
you understanding this so far ?

Answer 6

then subtract 25 from both sides
9 - 25 = 1068x + 25 - 25 -- combine terms
- 16 = 1068x -- divide both sides by 1068
-16/1068 = x
-3/267 = x (reduce)
-1/89 = x
