15x-8=10+9x how do you solve this???

15x - 9x = 10 + 8
6x = 18
x = 3

Get x on one side and the constants on the other

15x-8=10+9x
15x - 9x = 10 +8
6x = 18
x =3

15x-8=10+9x
15x-8-9x=10+9x-9x
6x-8=10
6x-8+8=10+8
6x=18
6x/6=18/6
x=3

Given: 15x - 8 = 10 + 9x

Required: Steps to solve the equation: 15x - 8 = 10 + 9x

Solution:

Step1: If you are familiar with the TRANSPOSITION METHOD, you can transpose terms at any side of the equation but changing their signs. Here, you can therefore transpose similar terms to the left and constants to the right. (You can do it vice-versa)

Step2: You can now transpose 9x to the left side but change its sign to negative (-). Likewise, you can transpose (- 8) to the right side but change its sign to positive (+).

**** Easier method than adding or subtracting terms into both sides, isn't it?****

Hence,

15x - 9x = 10 + 8

Step3: Adding or subtracting like terms and constants;

6x = 18
x = 18/6
x = 3 --------------------->>> Answer

15x - 8 = 10 + 9x
15x-9x -8+8 = 10 +8 +9x-9x
(adding 8-9x on both sides)

6x=18
x=3

15x - 8 = 10 + 9x

15x - 9x = 10 + 8

6x = 18

x = 3

Select my answer as best answer. Thanks!

15x - 8 = 10 + 9x
15x - 9x = 10 + 8
6x = 18
x = 18/6
x = 3

15x -9x = 10+8
6x = 18
x=3

15x-8=10+9x

= 15x-9x=10+8
= 6x=18
= x=18/6
= x=3

15x - 9x = 10+8
6x = 18 -> divide by 6
x = 3
