Answer:
a) 5x - 9 = 3x + 3
5x - 3x = 3 + 9
2x = 12
x = 12 / 2
x = 6
b) x + 6 = 34 - x
x + x = 34 - 6
2x = 28
x = 28 / 2
x = 14
[tex] \: (a)5x - 9 = 3x + 3 \\ 5x - 9 - 3x = 3 \\ 2x - 9 = 3 \\ 2x = 3 + 9 \\ 2x = 12 \\ x = \frac{12}{2} \\ x = 6 \\ (b) \: x + 6 = 34 - x \\ x + 6 + x = 34 \\ 2x + 6 = 34 \\ 2x = 34 - 6 \\ 2x = 28 \\ x = \frac{28}{2} \\ x = 14[/tex]
