Question

$$9x+16=15x+34$$

Solve for x

$x=-3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $15x$ from both sides.

$$9x+16-15x=34$$

Combine $9x$ and $-15x$ to get $-6x$.

$$-6x+16=34$$

Subtract $16$ from both sides.

$$-6x=34-16$$

Subtract $16$ from $34$ to get $18$.

$$-6x=18$$

Divide both sides by $-6$.

$$x=\frac{18}{-6}$$

Divide $18$ by $-6$ to get $-3$.

$$x=-3$$
