Simplifying

2x + 3 = 9x

Reorder the terms:

3 + 2x = 9x

Solving

3 + 2x = 9x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.

3 + 2x + -9x = 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 2x + -9x = -7x

3 + -7x = 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0

3 + -7x = 0

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + -7x = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + -7x = 0 + -3

-7x = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3

-7x = -3

Divide each side by '-7'.

x = 0.4285714286 or x = 3/7

Simplifying

x = 0.4285714286 or x = 3/7
