Answer 6

9(x-2)=5(2+x)

left side: distribute the 9 to the terms inside the parenthesis

right side: distribute the 5 to the terms inside the parenthesis

9(x-2)=5(2+x)

(9*x) - (9*2) = (5*2) + (5*x)

9x - 18 = 10 + 5x

subtract 5x from both sides

9x - 18 = 10 + 5x
-5x -5x
--- -----

4x - 18 = 10

add 18 to both sides

4x - 18 = 10
+18 +18
----- -----

4x = 28

divide by 4 on both sides

4x = 28
--- ---
4 4
