Question 5 • NC-Foundations of Math 1 (Fall) [1st 9 Weeks]
Start with –6 + 2x = 6x – 9. Subtract 2x from both sides and add 9 to both sides to get 3 = 4x, which has the variable term on one side and the constant on the other (choice D). Reversing the sides gives –4x = –3 (choice C), which has the same arrangement. Choices A and E still have constants or variable terms mixed on a side, and B puts the variable term and constant together on one side.
