7x + 9x - 3 = 69
add to both sides :add what to both sides?
16x - 3 + = 69 +
hints

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the term to eliminate

To isolate the variable term, we need to eliminate the \(-3\) on the left side. We do this by adding \(3\) to both sides (since \(-3 + 3 = 0\)).

Step2: Apply to the equation

So we add \(3\) to both sides of \(16x - 3 = 69\), resulting in \(16x - 3 + 3 = 69 + 3\).

Answer:

The first box and the second box both should be filled with \(3\). So the values are \(3\) (for the first box) and \(3\) (for the second box).
