Solve: 4x + 3 = 2x + 9

4x + 3 = 2x + 9

Start by subtracting 2x from both sides, which leaves you with ...

2x + 3 = 9

Now that 'x' is moved to one side-in this case the left-start subtracting the '3' from both sides ...

2x = 6

Now that 'x' is isolated, you can now solve ... start by dividing both sides by 2.

2x/2 = 6/2

Your final answer should be ...

x = 3

Solve: 4x + 3 = 2x + 9

4x + 3 = 2x + 9

-2x - 2x

2x + 3 = 9

-3 - 3

2x = 6

2x/2 = 6/2

x = 3

Answer would be : x = 3
