Question

$$9 + 4 ( x + 3 ) = 5 x - 6$$

Solve for x

$x=27$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $4$ by $x+3$.

$$9+4x+12=5x-6$$

Add $9$ and $12$ to get $21$.

$$21+4x=5x-6$$

Subtract $5x$ from both sides.

$$21+4x-5x=-6$$

Combine $4x$ and $-5x$ to get $-x$.

$$21-x=-6$$

Subtract $21$ from both sides.

$$-x=-6-21$$

Subtract $21$ from $-6$ to get $-27$.

$$-x=-27$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$x=27$$
