Sierra Evans · Answer 1

X=1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You subtract 6x with 9x so it should equal 2=3x-1

2. You add 1 to the 2 so it should be 3=3x

3. You divide 3 on both sides so it should be 3/3=3x/3

4. After you divide you finally get the answer 1=x or x=1

Gay · Answer 2

6x + 2 = 9x - 1

6x - 9x = - 1 - 2

-3x = - 3

x = - 3/-3

x = 1

Prove:

Let x = 1

6x + 2 = 9x - 1

6 (1) + 2 = 9 (1) - 1

6 + 2 = 9 - 1

8 = 8

It checks to be true.

The answer is x = 1.
