The equation −3x−9=−21 is solved as follows. Supply the correct numbers to complete the solution.

Question

−3x = __. Add 9 to both sides.
X = __. divide both sides by -3

Answer 1

To complete the solution, we need to follow the steps given in the equation:
−3x−9=−21

1. Add 9 to both sides:
−3x = -21 + 9
−3x = -12

2. Divide both sides by -3 to solve for x:
x = -12 / -3
x = 4

So, the correct numbers to complete the solution are:

−3x = -12
x = 4

Answer 2

fill in the blank space please

Answer 3

−3x = -12. Add 9 to both sides.
−3x + 9 = -12 + 9. Simplify.
−3x + 9 = -3. Subtract 9 from both sides.
−3x = -3 - 9. Simplify.
−3x = -12. Divide both sides by -3.
x = -12 / -3. Simplify.
x = 4.
