Math Problem Statement

4x-9=2x+3

Solution

Let's solve the equation:

4x9=2x+34x - 9 = 2x + 3

Step 1: Move all terms with xx to one side of the equation and constants to the other side.

Subtract 2x2x from both sides:

4x2x9=2x2x+34x - 2x - 9 = 2x - 2x + 3

Simplifying:

2x9=32x - 9 = 3

Step 2: Move the constant on the left side to the right side.

Add 9 to both sides:

2x9+9=3+92x - 9 + 9 = 3 + 9

Simplifying:

2x=122x = 12

Step 3: Solve for xx.

Divide both sides by 2:

x=122x = \frac{12}{2}

Simplifying:

x=6x = 6

Final Answer:

x=6x = 6
