and if you want 9x+7, then you do not need to solve for x, but just add 7 to both sides here...

We could solve 9x-11 = 12 for x, and then plug it into 9x+7 to get the answer. However, solving for x leads to a fraction which isn't ideal.

Instead of isolating x itself, lets isolate 9x

We do this by adding 11 to both sides
9x-11 = 12
9x-11+11 = 12+11
9x = 23

Since we know 9x is equal to 23, we can then add 7 to both sides to find the value of 9x+7
9x = 23
9x+7 = 23+7
9x+7 = 30

.

It is a  joke math problem,  for children of the  5-th - 6-th grade,  which sometimes
a teacher gives them to  "warm up"  or to  "wake up"  their brains.   //   (Instead of saying "good morning . . . ").

The first rule is  "do not solve an equation".

The second rule is  "simply add  18  to both sides".

Again,  this problem's intention it is to worm children's  (and aged people's)  brain.

An entertainment kind problem . . .
