Question 147502


{{{x-25=12x+9+3x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{x-25=15x+9}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=15x+9+25}}} Add {{{25}}} to both sides.



{{{x-15x=9+25}}} Subtract {{{15x}}} from both sides.



{{{-14x=9+25}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-14x=34}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(34)/(-14)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-14}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-17/7}}} Reduce.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=-17/7}}} 



Which approximates to {{{x=-2.429}}}
