2x+3=9x
subtract 2x from each side
3=7x
divide by 7 on each side
x=3/7

10x 2x divide 2x equals?
no x would be 0.5 because two times 0.5 is 1 ( 2x ) and then add 7 equals 8 ( plus seven equals 8 )
If 2x - 13 = 5 then 2x = 5 + 13 (we have in effect added 13 to both sides of the equation in this step) 2x = 18 x = 9.
2x+1 = 9 2x = 9-1 2x = 8 x = 4
Minus a negative would give you a positive, so this could be rewritten as:2x+3 = 5Subtract three from both sides,2x = 2Divide both sides by two,x = 1
What number when doubled has seven added and gives 13?
it equals 13X.
2x+3=7 Subtract three from both sides 2x=4 Divide both sides by 2 x=2
x would be -3
You need three independent equations to solve for three unknown variables.
3 = 2x + 5 -5 -5 -2 = 2x ---------- 2 x = -1
