Question

Half the value of 3x-9 is x+37. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-9=2x+73

3x-2x=73+9

x=82

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 83

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-9 / 2 = x + 37

1. multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction

3x - 9 = 2x + 74

2. move the variable to one side and the numbers to another side

3x - 2x = 74 + 9

x = 83
