Question

How do you solve `7x + 9 = 15/2x + 6`?

Answer 1

`x = 6`

Explanation:

Solve
`7x+9=15/2x+6` Begin by multiplying by 2 to eliminate the fraction.
`2[7x+9=15/2x+6]` = `14x+18=15x+12`
Move the variables to the same side by additive inverse
`14x+18-14x =15x+12 -14x`
`18=1x+12` isolate the variable term by additive inverse
`18 -12=1x+12 -12`
`6 = x`
