Identify and move terms: Identify like terms and move variables to one side and constants to the other side.Add 9x to both sides to get all x terms on one side: 43−2x+9x=7−9x+9x.
Add x terms: Simplify both sides of the equation: 43+7x=7.
Simplify both sides: Subtract 43 from both sides to isolate the variable term: 43+7x−43=7−43.
Subtract to isolate: Simplify both sides of the equation: 7x=−36.
Simplify isolated term: Divide both sides by 7 to solve for x: 77x=7−36.
Divide to solve: Calculate the value of x: x=7−36.
