To solve the equation \( 9x + 7 = 3x + 25 \), the first step is to isolate the terms involving \( x \) on one side of the equation. You can do this by subtracting \( 3x \) from both sides:
\[
9x + 7 - 3x = 3x + 25 - 3x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
6x + 7 = 25
\]
Now you can continue solving for \( x \).
\[
9x + 7 - 3x = 3x + 25 - 3x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
6x + 7 = 25
\]
Now you can continue solving for \( x \).
