I assume you have : 5x - 9 = 3x + 11

This is a single algebraic expression.

Subtract 3x from both sides.

5x - 9 - 3x = 3x + 11 - 3x

2x - 9 = 11

Add 9 to both sides :

2x - 9 + 9 = 11 + 9

2x = 20

x = 10 <-------------------------------------

How do you find the x's that make the equation equal to 0?

You would set the equation equal to 0 and then solve for x. You may get one or several answers for x, x being the number(s) that make the equation equal 0.


What is the word for a number that makes an equation true?

Solution. A solution of an equation is a number that satisfy the equation. This means that if you replace this number on the equation and check it, the equation will be true. When you solve an equation you can find some roots, but not all of them satisfy the equation. Thus always check your answers after resolving your equation, and eliminate as solution the answers that don't make the equation true or undefined.


Can you solve for a variable in an equation?

Why can there be extraneous solutions in a logartithmic equation?

Extraneous solutions turn up in a few different p;aces in algebra. One reason they turn up in logarithmic equations is that you can only have a log of a positive number, but when you solve the equation, one of the answers is negative. Did you ever do a word problem about a rectangle and have to solve a quadratic equation? You probably got 2 answers, and had to reject one of them because the length of a rectangle can't be negative. Same idea: the algebra doesn't understand what the problem is about, it just churns out answers!
