Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac
expand form.
do parenthesis first it's got to be remove.
[tex]-4x+9=8x-3[/tex]
subtract by 9 both sides of an equation.
[tex]-4x+9-9=8x-3-9[/tex]
simplify by equation form.
[tex]-4x=8x-12[/tex]
then you subtract by 8x both sides of an equation.
[tex]-4x-8x=8x-12-8x[/tex]
simplify by equation form again.
[tex]-12x=-12[/tex]
therefore, you can also divide by -12 both sides of an equation.
[tex]\frac{-12x}{-12}= \frac{-12}{-12}[/tex]
finally, simplify equation.
[tex]\boxed{x=1}[/tex]
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
