Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation to solve is $9+6=x+3$ . The solution should be expressed as an integer, simplified fraction, or a decimal rounded to two places

STEP 2

First, let's simplify the equation by performing the addition on both sides of the equation.
$9+6=2x+$ becomes $15=2x+$

STEP 3

Now, we need to isolate $x$ on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting3 from both sides of the equation.
$15-3=2x+3-3$ which simplifies to $12=2x$

STEP 4

Finally, we solve for $x$ by dividing both sides of the equation by2.
$12/2=2x/2$ which simplifies to $x=6$ So, the solution to the equation is $x=6$ .
