9x + 3 = 8x
To solve for x, subtract 8x from both sides:
9x - 8x + 3 = 8x - 8x
x + 3 = 0
Next, subtract 3 from both sides:
x + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3
x = -3
The solution to the equation is x = -3.
To solve for x, subtract 8x from both sides:
9x - 8x + 3 = 8x - 8x
x + 3 = 0
Next, subtract 3 from both sides:
x + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3
x = -3
The solution to the equation is x = -3.
