Question

Hi everyone,

Could someone tell me how I could solve these equations

7x + 9 = 5x-5

x/3 + 15 = 3(x-11)

Thanks

Answer 1

Move the x terms to one side and the constant terms to the other side, and divide both sides by the coefficient of x.

In the first case,
2x = -14

Divide both sides by 2 and see what you get.
