You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First group all x variables on the left by subtracting 7x from both sides
-3x - 9x - 9 - 7x = 7x - 7x
leaving
-3x - 9x - 9 - 7x = 0
...
Now move the 9 to the right side by additing it to both sides
-3x - 9x - 9 + 9 - 7x = 0 + 9
leaving
-3x - 9x - 7x = 9
...
Add the coefficients of x
-3 - 9 - 7 = -19
-19x = 9
...
Divide both sides by -19 to isolate the x variable
cross%28-19%29x%2Fcross%28-19%29+=+9%2Fhighlight%28-19%29
...
highlight_green%28x=-9%2F19%29
