Jerome Rowe · Answer 1

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 9

9x+9=25+x

Move x to one side. I prefer to keep the x term positive, so I would move the term on the right to the left in this situation.

8x+9=25

Isolate the x term

8x=16

Isolate the variable

x=2

Solve for x.9 (x + 1) = 25 + xx=2x = 3x = 5

Solve for x.

9 (x + 1) = 25 + x

x=2

x = 3

x = 5
