Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
I dunno which one to answer so I'll do both. (the question you posted or the picture??)
5x - 32x - 9
First we can combine the like terms 5x and -32x. Which is -27x
We can't combine -9 with anything so it stays the same.
-27x - 9
________________________________
5x - 3 = 2x - 9
-2x -2x
3x - 3 = -9
Here I subtracted -2 from both sides.
3x - 3 = -9
+3 +3
3x = -6
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable.
x = -2
(sorry this is so long) Hope this helps and have a great day!
