Answer:
x= -5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
7(5x+9)=12−(x+9)
7(5x+9)=12+−1(x+9)(Distribute the Negative Sign)
7(5x+9)=12+−1x+(−1)(9)
7(5x+9)=12+−x+−9
(7)(5x)+(7)(9)=12+−x+−9(Distribute)
35x+63=12+−x+−9
35x+63=(−x)+(12+−9)(Combine Like Terms)
35x+63=−x+3
35x+63=−x+3
Step 2: Add x to both sides.
35x+63+x=−x+3+x
36x+63=3
Step 3: Subtract 63 from both sides.
36x+63−63=3−63
36x=−60
Step 4: Divide both sides by 36.
36x/36 and -60/36
x= -5/3
