The 'answer' is the number that 'x' has to be in order to make the statement true.18x + 3 = 12xSubtract 3 from each side of the equation:18x = 12x - 3Subtract 12x from each side:6x = -3Divide each side by 6 :x = - 1/2
(2x4) + (8x3) + 18x 8 + 24 + 18x 32 + 18x
x = -4/3

5x2-18x+9 = (5x-3)(x-3)
7Improved Answer:8x2-18x+9 = (4x-3)(2x-3)
If: 3 -18x^2 = 25x then 3 -18x^2 -25x = 0 When factored: (9x-1)(-2x-3) = 0Solutions: x = 1/9 or x = -3/2
5x² - 18x + 9 = (5x² - 15x) - (3x - 9) = 5x(x - 3) - 3(x - 3) = (5x - 3)(x - 3).
-3(x + 3)(x + 3)
(5x - 3)(x - 3)
The 'answer' is the number that 'x' has to be in order to make the statement true.18x + 3 = 12xSubtract 3 from each side of the equation:18x = 12x - 3Subtract 12x from each side:6x = -3Divide each side by 6 :x = - 1/2
(2x4) + (8x3) + 18x 8 + 24 + 18x 32 + 18x
2X - 3 = 18X -2X -2X ( Subtract 2X from both sides ) ------------------ -3 = 16X ( Divide both sides by 16 ) -------------------- so, X = -3/16 OR -.1875
x = -4/3
