Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

9+4x=15-2x

9+6x=15                    Add two to both sides

6x=6                        divide by 6

x=1

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

I set it up as an equation based on the word problem you gave me

So

2n - 15 = 4n + 9

Combine like terms

-2n = 24

Isolate the variable n

-2n/-2 = 24/-2

n = -12

To check your work replace the n with -12

2(-12) - 15 = 4(-12) + 9

-24 - 15 = -48 + 9

-39 = -39
