How do you solve #9x - 15 = 0#? Algebra Linear Equations Two-Step Equations and Properties of Equality 1 Answer smendyka Dec 14, 2016 #x = 5/3# Explanation: Step 1) Isolate the #x# term on one side of the equation while keeping the equation balanced: #9x - 15 + 15 = 0 + 15# #9x - 0 = 15# #9x = 15# Step 2) Solve for #x# while keeping the equation balanced" #(9x)/9 = 15/9# #(cancel(9)x)/cancel(9) = (3*5)/(3*3)# #x = (cancel(3)*5)/(cancel(3)*3)# #x = 5/3# Answer link Related questions How do you solve two step equations?
