Solve for x.

5 (x - 3) + 4 (x + 3) = 3 (x - 1)

What's the answer?

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x.

5 (x - 3) + 4 (x + 3) = 3 (x - 1)

Distribute

5x - 15 + 4x + 12 = 3x-3

Combine like terms

9x - 3 = 3x-3

Add 3 on each side

9x - 3+3 = 3x-3

9x = 3x

Subtract 3x from each side

9x-3x = 3x-3x

6x = 0

Divide by 6

6x/6 = 0/6

x=0

5x - 15 + 4x + 12 = 3x - 3

5x + 4x - 3x = 15 - 12 - 3 (put all like terms in one side)

6x = 0

x = 0/6

x = 0
