7x+8-3x=9+3x-6

1 answer

To solve the equation, we can combine like terms on both sides of the equation.

On the left side, we have 7x - 3x, which equals 4x.

On the right side, we have 9 - 6, which equals 3.

So, the equation simplifies to:

4x + 8 = 3

Next, we can subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable term:

4x = 3 - 8
4x = -5

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x:

x = -5/4

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -5/4.
