Question

helpppp :( 3(x-1) = 2x+9

Answer 1

x equals 12 because

3x-3= 2x+9

x=12

Answer 2

3(x-1) = 2x+9                  Remove the Brackets on the left

3x - 3 = 2x + 9               Add 3 to both sides

3x = 2x + 9 + 3              Collect like terms

3x = 2x + 12                   Subtract 2x from both sides.

3x - 2x = 2x-2x + 12

x = 12
