x = 3
First, combine like terms on the left side:
9x - 4 = 5x + 8
Subtract 5x from each side:
4x - 4 = 8
Add 4 to each side:
4x = 12
Divide each side by 4:
x = 3

1. comine 6x + 3x.
you now have 9x - 4 = 5x + 8.
2. subtract 5x from both sides. You now have 4x - 4 = 8
3. Add 4 to both sides. You now have 4x = 12.
4. Divide both sides by 4. And your answer is x = 3

combine 6x and 3x so 9x-4=5x+8
subtract 5x on both sides and ad 4 on both sides so 4x=12
divide both sides by 4 so...
x=3

6x - 4 + 3x = 5x +8
6x + 3x = 5x + 8 + 4
6x + 3x - 5x = 8 + 4
9x - 5x = 12
4x = 12
x = 12/4
x = 3

6x-4+3x=5x+8
6x+3x-4=5x+8
9x-4=5x+8
9x=5x+8+4
9x=5x+12
9x-5x=12
4x=12
x=12 divided by 4
x=3
