Help, I hate algebra ;-;

answers:
Summer say: Simplify both sides
(8)(4)x=9+12x
32x=9+12x
32x=12x+9

Subtract 12x from both sides
32x−12x=12x+9−12x
20x=9

Divide both sides by 20
20x/20=9/20
x=9/20

Answer: x=9/20

RR say: 8 * 4x = 9 + 12x
BIDMAS

Therefore, multiply first.
32x = 9 + 12x
20x = 9
x = 9/20

JosephV say: 9/20 may be expressed as 0.45.
-
lenpol7 say: 32x = 9 + 12x
20x = 9
x = 9/20
-
sepia say: 8 * 4x = 9 + 12x
20x = 9
x = 0.45
-
Iggy Rocko say: 8 * 4x = 9 + 12x
32x = 9 + 12x
32x - 12x = 9 + 12x - 12x
20x = 9
20x/20 = 9/20
x = 9/20

Knightingale say: Please excuse my dear aunt sally.
Parentheses exponents multiplication division addition subtraction.
8*4x=9+12x
Multiply first
8*4x also =8(4x)
So
32x=9+12x
The X’s have to be on the same side. Remember to change the positive to a negative when switching sides!
32x-12x=9
20x=9
Now divide 20x/20 and 9/20
X=9/20

David say: If you mean: 8 times 4x = 9 +12x then it is the same as 32x = 9 +12x and so x = 9/20

Mrs.Dimple say: x = 9/20
