Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x + 5) = 9x + 4x − 34
4x + 20 = 9x + 4x − 34 [Distributive]
4x + 20 = 13x − 34 {Combine Like Terms]
4x - 13x + 20 = 13x - 13x − 34 [Subtractive: -13x both sides]
-5x + 20 = - 34 [Combine Like Terms]
-5x + 20 - 20 = -34 - 20 [Subtractive: - 20 both sides]
-5x = -54 [Combine Like Terms]
x = -54/-5 [Division Property: divide both sides by -5]
x = - 10 4/5
