Question

Solve the equation. ×-9=-6× + 5

Answer 1

The answer is x=2. You add 6x to both sides to get 7x-9=5 then add 9 to both sides to get 7x=14. From there, you divide by 7 on both sides to get x=2.

Answer 2

X - 9 = - 6x + 5

----------------------------------------------------------
Take away x from both sides :
----------------------------------------------------------
-9 = - 7x + 5

----------------------------------------------------------
Take away 5 from both sides :
----------------------------- -----------------------------
- 14 = - 7x

----------------------------------------------------------
Divide by -7 on both sides :
----------------------------------------------------------
x = 2

----------------------------------------------------------
Answer: x = 2
