Question

5x-5=3x-9

Answer 1

x= -2

Answer 2

To solve for x, add 5 to each side. This will give you 5x = 3x -4.
Now subtract 3x from each side. This will give you 2x = -4.
Finally, divide each side by 2 to get x by itself. This will give you x = -2

Answer 3

combine the like terms 5x-3x=2x
2x=5-9
2x=-4
x=-4/2=?
