Math Problem Statement

13x + 1 = 9x + 37

Solution

To solve the equation 13x+1=9x+3713x + 1 = 9x + 37, let's follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 9x9x from both sides to move the xx-terms to one side: 13x9x+1=3713x - 9x + 1 = 37 Simplifying: 4x+1=374x + 1 = 37

  2. Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the term with xx: 4x=3714x = 37 - 1 Simplifying: 4x=364x = 36

  3. Divide both sides by 4 to solve for xx: x=364x = \frac{36}{4} Simplifying: x=9x = 9

Thus, the solution is x=9x = 9.
