3x-1 = 9x+2
+1 +1


3x = 9x+3
-9x -9x


-6x = 3
-6 -6

x = -1/2

3(-1/2)-1

-1.5-1 = -2.5


9(-1/2)+2

-4.5+2 = -2.5

wow im terrible at this

Answer 12

just looked at my notes see where i went wrong my bad

Answer 13

@michaelac959 you can plug your answer back into the original equation to see it checks out. if both the left and right sides equal each other then you know you got it right.

Answer 14

so -2.5 is the answer?

Answer 15

@freemap x = -(1/2) so that's the answer

Answer 16

oh, okay thanks so much

Answer 17

when I plugged x = -1/2 back into the equation that was to show you that I was the correct answer because both sides equaled -2.5

Answer 18

@freemap once you find x you can always plug it back in to see if both sides are equal.
