So let me know if I did this one right please!!!!!
8x+6=2x+9
8x-2x+6=2x-2x+9
6x+6=9
6x+6-6=9-6
6x=3
6/2= 3/6=1/2
x=1/2
Yay! You've got it.
I think this line >>
6/2= 3/6=1/2
should be
6x/6 = 3/6
x = 1/2
Thanks!
You're welcome.
Great job! You have correctly solved the equation:
8x + 6 = 2x + 9
To solve the equation, you want to isolate the variable x by getting all the x terms on one side and the constant terms on the other side.
You began by subtracting 2x from both sides:
8x - 2x + 6 = 2x - 2x + 9
This simplifies to:
6x + 6 = 9
Next, you subtracted 6 from both sides:
6x + 6 - 6 = 9 - 6
Simplifying further:
6x = 3
Finally, to solve for x, you divided both sides by 6:
6x/6 = 3/6
This simplifies to:
x = 1/2
So your solution is x = 1/2. Well done!
