Group our variables x and 3x subtract 3x from both sides x + 9 - 3x = 3x - 11 - 3x
Cancel 3x on the right side:
-2x + 9 = -11
Group constants
Group our constants 9 and -11. subtract 9 from both sides -2x + 9 - 9 = -11 - 9
Cancel 9 on the left side:
-2x = -20
Divide each side of the equation by -2
-2x
-2
=
-20
-2
x = 10
x = 10
What is the Answer?
x = 10
