Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
2x+9=8x+21
Step 1: Subtract 8x from both sides.
2x+9−8x=8x+21−8x
−6x+9=21
Step 2: Subtract 9 from both sides.
−6x+9−9=21−9
−6x=12
Step 3: Divide both sides by -6.
-6x/-6=12/-6
x=-2
Answer:
-2 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
First, combine like-terms. I subtracted 21 from both sides and subtracted 2x from both sides. This gave us 12 = -6x. Then, divide to solve for x. This gives us -2 = x.
