Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x the. You can find your answer from there.
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
1. Distributive property, because you are "distributing" the 5 across the parentheses.
2. Since we know that 5/10 is 0.5, this term must be close to that. 5/9 is about 0.55555, therefore, I'd go with 5/9 = 0.55
Hope I could help!
