Sure, let's solve the equation step-by-step:
Given the equation:
[tex]\[4 + 3 - x + 7 = 9\][/tex]
Step 1: Simplify the left side of the equation.
First, combine the constants on the left side:
[tex]\[4 + 3 + 7 = 14\][/tex]
So, the equation is simplified to:
[tex]\[14 - x = 9\][/tex]
Step 2: Isolate the variable [tex]\(x\)[/tex].
To solve for [tex]\(x\)[/tex], we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 14 from both sides:
[tex]\[ 14 - x - 14 = 9 - 14 \][/tex]
This simplifies to:
[tex]\[ -x = -5 \][/tex]
Step 3: Solve for [tex]\(x\)[/tex].
To get [tex]\(x\)[/tex] by itself, we need to divide both sides by -1:
[tex]\[ x = 5 \][/tex]
So, the solution to the equation [tex]\(4 + 3 - x + 7 = 9\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ x = 5 \][/tex]
