Question

What is the solution to the equation `3x – 6 = –2x + 9`?

Answer 1

`x = 3`

Explanation:

`3x - 6 = -2x + 9`

`5x = 15` Added the `-2x` on the right side to the `3x`

`x = 3` Now divide `5` from the left side to the `15` on the right side to isolate `x`.

Leaving you with the answer of being `3`. You can also check your work by plugging the number back into `x` with the starting equation. They should be equal if your answer is correct.
