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
Hope this helps and have a great day
Answer: x = 4.5
1) Reorder the terms:
3x = -9 + 5x
2) Solving
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
8) Divide each side by '-2'.
9) Simplifying
