Without an equality sign the terms given can't be considered to be an equation.
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
To solve a system of equations using substitution you solve one of the equations for one of the variables then substitute that into the other equation to solve for the other variable. For example. y = 6x 2x + 3y = -20 The first equation has already been solved for y. So, you simply substitute that into the second equation. 2x + 3(6x) = -20 2x + 18x = -20 20x = -20 x = -20/20 = -1 Now you have solved for x. You can substitute your answer for x back into the first equation to solve for y. y = 6x = 6(-1) = -6 Putting it all together... x = -1 y = -6
3/2x = 9 Multiply both sides by 2x: 3 = 18x Divide both sides by 18: 1/6 = x, that is x = 1/6 = 0.166...
3/2(1-5)=-6 3/2(-4)=-6 3/-8=-6 Not equal. This equation is a false equation. Unless a variable was meant to be in the equation, this equation is not equal.

3(4 - x) - 6(4 - 3x) = 3 Expand the brackets: 12 - 3x - 24 + 18x = 3 [note that -6*(-3x) gives +18x] Combine like terms: -12 + 15x = 3 Add 12 to both sides: 15x = 15 Divide both sides by 15: x = 1.
