Question

How do you solve `9- 9x - 5- 3x = 7`?

Answer 1

Move all the terms with `x` to one side, and move the integers to the other side.

Explanation:

`9-9x-5-3x=7`

`9-5-7=9x+3x`

`-3 = 12x`

`x = -1/4`

Answer 2

I think the answer's `x=3.5 or x=7/2`

Explanation:

in the equation you have to inverse the like terms i.e:
`-5 to 7` which is `7+5` after the sign has changed to -5,secondly the other like term is 9 which is -9 it is inversed and changed to`-9 to 12 is 12+9` answer is: `6x=2/6` after being divided by six which is the denominator. `x=3.5`
