Solve for x.

Question

9x=3x−36

Answer 1

To solve for x, we want to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, we can combine like terms on the right side of the equation:
9x = 3x - 36

To combine like terms, we subtract 3x from both sides of the equation:
9x - 3x = 3x - 3x - 36
6x = -36

Finally, to isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 6:
6x/6 = -36/6
x = -6

Therefore, the solution is x = -6.
