UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To solve the equation $$ 15x = 9x + 12 $$ for $$ x $$, follow these steps:

1. **Subtract $$ 9x $$ from both sides** to get the terms containing $$ x $$ on one side:

$$
   15x - 9x = 9x + 12 - 9x
   $$
   
   Simplifying both sides:

$$
   6x = 12
   $$

2. **Divide both sides by 6** to isolate $$ x $$:

$$
   \frac{6x}{6} = \frac{12}{6}
   $$
   
   Simplifying:

$$
   x = 2
   $$

**Solution:** $$ x = 2 $$
$$ x = 2 $$
