Question

Solve the equation for x (if possible please show work)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x = - 4}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{3x - 5 = 2x - 9}$

Move 2x to left hand side and change it's sign

⇒$\sf{3x - 2x - 5 = - 9}$

Move 5 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒$\sf{3x - 2x = - 9 + 5}$

Collect like terms

⇒$\sf{x = - 9 + 5}$

Calculate

⇒$\sf{x = - 4}$
