Answer :
Add 88 to both sides
2x - 88 = 9
2x - 88 + 88 = 9 + 88
simplify
Add the numbers. 2x = 97
Divide both sides by the same factor
2x = 97
2x/2 = 97/2
Simplify
x = 97/2
Solution
x = 97/2
2x - 88 = 9
2x - 88 + 88 = 9 + 88
simplify
Add the numbers. 2x = 97
Divide both sides by the same factor
2x = 97
2x/2 = 97/2
Simplify
x = 97/2
Solution
x = 97/2
