What is the value of x in the equation 9 + x / 2 = 9 if x = -3 and x = 9?

To solve the equation ( 9 + frac{x}{2} = 9 ), let’s isolate ( x ).

1. Start by subtracting 9 from both sides:

[

frac{x}{2} = 9 – 9

]

[

frac{x}{2} = 0

]

2. Next, multiply both sides by 2 to solve for ( x ):

[

x = 0 times 2

]

[

x = 0

]

The solution to the equation is ( x = 0 ), which is not one of your options (-3 or 9). Neither of those values satisfies the equation.
