Solve 9x-15/4=x

$$\frac { 9 x - 15 } { 4 } = x$$

Solve for x

$$x=3$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide each term of 9x-15 by 4 to get \frac{9}{4}x-\frac{15}{4}.

$$\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{15}{4}=x$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{15}{4}-x=0$$

Combine \frac{9}{4}x and -x to get \frac{5}{4}x.

$$\frac{5}{4}x-\frac{15}{4}=0$$

Add \frac{15}{4} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$\frac{5}{4}x=\frac{15}{4}$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{5}, the reciprocal of \frac{5}{4}.

$$x=\frac{15}{4}\times \frac{4}{5}$$

Multiply \frac{15}{4} times \frac{4}{5} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$x=\frac{15\times 4}{4\times 5}$$

Cancel out 4 in both numerator and denominator.

$$x=\frac{15}{5}$$

Divide 15 by 5 to get 3.

$$x=3$$
