Question

$$9x-3(x-9)=2(x+7)+25$$

Solve for x

$x=3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $-3$ by $x-9$.

$$9x-3x+27=2\left(x+7\right)+25$$

Combine $9x$ and $-3x$ to get $6x$.

$$6x+27=2\left(x+7\right)+25$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $x+7$.

$$6x+27=2x+14+25$$

Add $14$ and $25$ to get $39$.

$$6x+27=2x+39$$

Subtract $2x$ from both sides.

$$6x+27-2x=39$$

Combine $6x$ and $-2x$ to get $4x$.

$$4x+27=39$$

Subtract $27$ from both sides.

$$4x=39-27$$

Subtract $27$ from $39$ to get $12$.

$$4x=12$$

Divide both sides by $4$.

$$x=\frac{12}{4}$$

Divide $12$ by $4$ to get $3$.

$$x=3$$
