Question

if 3x+1 = 9x-2 , find x​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 1 = 9x - 2

3x - 9x = -2 - 1

-6x = -3

6x = 3

x = 3/6

x = 1/2

Verification:

Substitute the x value

3(1/2) + 1 = 9(1/2) - 2

3/2 + 1 = 9/2 - 2

5/2 = 5/2

Hence proved...

Therefore, the value of x is 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 3/6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+1 = 9x-2

9x-3x =2+1

6x = 3

x = 3/6
