Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you gotta get the numbers with the x on one side and the whole numbers on the other side.
So, since there is a -3 on the right side, make that 0 by adding 3. Whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other side, so then add 3 the the left side. You should have 12x=9x+30.
Now, get the Xs on one side. Since there is a positive 9x on the left side, subtract 9x from that side to make that 0. Again, whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other side, so subtract 9x from the right side as well. This should leave you with 3x=30.
In order to get x by itself, we need to divide because when 2 things (in this case the 3 and the x) are right next to each other (no space in between,) it means they are multiplied together. To get x by itself, we need to do the opposite which is divide. 3x/3=x 30/3=10 So, x=10
btw, /=divide
