9(x – 2) = 5(2 + x)

Answer 1

distribute

Answer 3

9(x-2)=5(2+x)
left side: distribute the 9 to the terms inside the parenthesis and the right side: distribute the 5 to the terms inside the parenthesis

Answer 4

(9*x) - (9*2) = (5*2) + (5*x)
9x - 18 = 10 + 5x
subtract 5x from both sides

Answer 5

4x - 18 = 10
add 18 to both sides
