Question

If 8x - 9 = 7x + 2 , what is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence, the value of x will be 11

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to question asked,

We have to determine the value of x

As per question,

We have,

$8x-9=7x+2$

So, for determining the value of x we will solve the given equation by separating the like terms on one side.

So, when 7x will be shifted from RHS to LHS it will comes in subtraction while when -9 is shifted from LHS to RHS it will comes in addition.

Thus we will get,

$8x-9=7x+2\\=>8x-7x =2+9\\=>x = 11$
