Question

Solve the equation
8x+3 = 9x+20
Pls do step by step

Answer 1

Answer:

$8x + 3 = 9x + 20$

Subtract 3 from both sides

$8x + 3 - 3 = 9x + 20 - 3$

$8x = 9x + 17$

Subtract 9x from both sides

$8x - 9x = 9x + 17 - 9x$

$- x = 17$

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

$- x = 17$

-x/-1=17/1

$x = - 17$

Thus the answer is x=-17
