Exact Form:
x=-3/2
Decimal Form:
x=−1.5x
Mixed Number Form:
x=−1 1/2
Answer:
-1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
-9=-3(x+2)+5x (switching the sides of the formula can make it easier)
-3(x+2)+5x=-9
2x-6=-9
add 6 to both sides ---> 2x-6+6=-9+6
simplify ----> 2x=-3
divide both sides by 2 ---> 2x/2 = -3/2
simplify ---> x= -3/2
decimal form- -1.5
