Answer:
B. x=15
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the solution to the equation, we must get x by itself on one side of the equation.
[tex]x+9=24[/tex]
9 is being added to x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation.
[tex]x+9-9=24-9[/tex]
[tex]x=24-9[/tex]
[tex]x=15[/tex]
Let's check our solution. Plug 15 in for x.
[tex]x+9=24 (x=15)[/tex]
[tex]15+9=24[/tex]
[tex]24=24[/tex]
This checks out, so we know our solution is correct. The answer is B. x=15
