Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Use distribution to simplify

[tex]9(x+1)=25+x\\9x+9=25+x[/tex]

2. Move like terms to their respective sides

[tex]9x+9=25+x\\9x=16+x\\8x=16[/tex]

3. Solve

[tex]8x=16\\x=2[/tex]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

9(x + 1) = 25 + x  

9x + 9 = 25 + x   [Remove brackets]

8x = 16                [subtract 1x and 9 from both sides]

x = 2
