Question

3x=5x-9 pls help ?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?1/

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The way you can figure this out is first, minus both sides by -5x to get ride of the extra x

3x - 5x = 5x - 5x -9

-2x = -9

Then make sure that the -2x is positive cause you can't have a neagtive variable.

-2x times -1 = -9 times -1

2x = 9

Then divded both sides by 2 to get the answer

2x/2 = 9/2

x = 4.5

Hope this helps and have a great day

Answer 2

Answer: x = 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Reorder the terms:

3x = -9 + 5x

2) Solving

3x = -9 + 5x

3) Solving for variable 'x'.

4) Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

5) Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.

3x + -5x = -9 + 5x + -5x

6) Combine like terms: 3x + -5x = -2x

-2x = -9 + 5x + -5x

7) Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0

-2x = -9 + 0

-2x = -9

8) Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 4.5

9) Simplifying

x = 4.5
