Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 5 =7x -9

Subtract 3x from each side

3x - 5-3x =7x-3x -9

-5 = 4x-9

Add 9 to each side

-5+9 = 4x-9+9

4 = 4x

Divide each side by 4

4/4 = 4x/4

1=x

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

10 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of ways in which the selection can be made
