What is the value of x
mezya [45]

Answer:

x=9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, we know that 6x + 4x - 5 = 90

Next we want to combine like terms: 10x - 5 = 90.

Now we have to add 5 to 90 in order to get x on its own.  10x = 95

Now solve for x by dividing 95 by 10: x=9.5
