Given the equation:
2x - 3 = 9 - 4x
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, simply transpose -4x and -3 on the opposite sides of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
2x - 3 = 9 - 4x
2x + 4x = 9 + 3
6x = 12
Divide both sides by 6 in order to cancel out 6x leaving behind x.
6x/6 = 12/6
x = 2
Final answer:
x = 2
