Step-by-step explanation:
1) first eliminate constant(number without variable) you eliminate constant by doing the inverse operation(if constant is being added, then subtract)(if constant is being subtracted, then add it)
ex: if x+9=32
subtract 9 from both sides to get rid of it
x=23
2) if there is another constant but this constant is being multiplied/divided then do the opposite operation to remove it
[tex]\frac{x+9}{3} =23[/tex]
you could multiply by 3 on both sides:
x+9=69
x=60
Hope this helps!
