Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the -7 to (x + 9) and distribute 9 to (x - 5), creating the equation, -7x - 63 = 9x - 45 -14x. Then you add the like terms, 9x - 14x, which equals -5x. So the equation is now -7x - 63 = -5x -45. Add the -5 to both sides which makes -2x -63 = -45. Then add the -63 to both sides, which equals 18, then divide that by -2 and you get -9 as your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x in the equation: -7(x+9)=9(x-5)-14x

$-7(x+9)=9(x-5)-14x\\\\\text{Distribute the -7}\\\\-7x-63=9(x-5)-14x\\\\\text{Distribute the 9}\\\\-7x-63=9(x-5)-14x\\\\-7x-63=9x-45-14x\\\\-7x-63=-5x-45\\\\\text{Add 63 to both sides}\\\\-7x=-5x+18\\\\\text{Add 5x to both sides}\\\\-2x=18\\\\\text{Divide by -2}\\\\x = -9$
