Question

9x-20=3x+32 solve for x

Answer 1

• x=26/3

Explanation:

9x-20=3x+32

9x-20+20=3x+32+20

9x=3x+52

9x-3x=3x+52-3x

6x=52

6x/6=52/6

x=26/3

Answer 2

`x=(26)/(3)`

Explanation:

Lets solve for
`x`.

Subtract
`3x` from both sides of the equation.

`9x-20-3x=32`

Add 20 to both sides of the equation.

`9x-3x=32+20`

Simplify both sides.

`6x=52`

Divide both sides of the equation by 6.

`x=(52)/(6)`

Write the fraction in simplest form.

`52 / 2 = 26\\6 / 2 = 3`

`x=(26)/(3)`
