The easiest way to do this without dealing with fractions is to convert the equation to inches, then convert it back to ?feet ?inches
So, we know 1 foot = 12 inches, therefore...
2 feet x 12 inches/feet = 24 inches
(The unit 'feet' will cancel each other out leaving the unit 'inches')
Now, since it's 2 feet 1 inch, we'll add the 1 inch to our answer -
24 inches + 1 inch = 25 inches
Now, we can subtract the 9 inches from our 2ft 1in (25 inches).
25 inches - 9 inches = 16 inches
Since we know 12 inches = 1 foot, and that 2 feet would be 24 inches, we can...
16 inches - 12 inches = 4 inches
So, your answer would be
1 foot 4 inches

If 3x plus 9 equals 5 what is x?
Well if 3x+9=5 x=? Well you minus 9 from the side and then do 5-9 and that equals -4. Then you have to do -4 divided by 3. Which equals -1 so I believe x will equal -1.
What is -1 minus x equals -9?
