Solve for x 4-3x+2(5.5)=9

$4 - 3 x + 2 (5.5) = 9$

Step 1

Simplify $4 - 3 x + 2 (5.5)$ .

Multiply $2$ by $5.5$ .

$4 - 3 x + 11 = 9$

Add $4$ and $11$ .

$- 3 x + 15 = 9$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $15$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 3 x = 9 - 15$

Subtract $15$ from $9$ .

$- 3 x = - 6$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- 3 x = - 6$ by $- 3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 3 x = - 6$ by $- 3$ .

$\frac{- 3 x}{- 3} = \frac{- 6}{- 3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 3 x}{- 3} = \frac{- 6}{- 3}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- 6}{- 3}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 6$ by $- 3$ .

$x = 2$
