Question #64aad

1 Answer

Dec 11, 2017

$x = \frac{10}{3}$ $x=10/3$

Explanation:

Put together like terms.
$12 x - 10 = 9 x$ $12x-10=9x$
Rearrange the equation so that like terms are on one side.
$- 10 = 9 x - 12 x$ $-10=9x-12x$
$- 10 = - 3 x$ $-10=-3x$
Solve for x.
$x = - \frac{10}{- 3} = \frac{10}{3}$ $x=-10/-3=10/3$
