Answer:
From what I can comprehend I believe the answer is <em>3.2x + -4</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
0.4(2x-9) = 0.8x - 9
0.8x - 9 - 0.6(4x+5)=
0.8x - 9 + 2.4x+5
0.8+2.4 = 3.2x
-9 + 5 = -4
3.2x + -4

Let's solve ~




I hope you understood the procedure, please let me know if you have any doubts
1. 1/5 = x - 9 / x
2. Cross multiply x = 5 (x - 9)
3. Distribute x = 5x - 45
4. Move the variable and change the sign x - 5x = -45
5. Add like terms -4x = -45
6. Divide x = 45 / 4
So the solution is x = 45 / 4 or 11.25
Ricky is not necessarily correct, as inductive reasoning does not yield certain truths.
