Question

2 x + 5 = 9 x – 16

Answer 1

1) Subtract 2x from both sides.
2) Add 16 to both sides.

Answer 2

2 x + 5 = 9 x – 16
2x-9x=-16-5
-7x=-21|:(-7)
x=3

Answer 3

x=3 combine like terms

Answer 4

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 2x + 5 = 9x - 16 }\)

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 5 = 7x - 16 }\)

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 7x = 21 }\)

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow x = 21 \div 7 = 3 }\)

Answer 5

x = 3

Answer 6

take the x variable one side and other in other side and solve it 7x=21 x=21/7=3
