What's next in - 3x+2+9x=4x-5-1

Firstly, you need to combine like terms within that side of the equation.

Take - 3x + 9x and you'll get 6x.

Next, combine like terms on the other side of the equation.

Take - 5-1 and you'll get - 6

So far you should have:

6x+2=4x-6

Subtract 4x on each side! Cancel 4x-4x! Solve 6x-4x!

Now you'll get:

2x+2=-6

Subtract 2 on each side!

Cancel out 2-2 and solve - 6-2.

You should get:

2x=-8

Lastly, divide 2 on each side.

Cancel out 2/2 and solve 8/2.

Your final answer should be:

X = - 4
