Question

x - 9 = -6x + 5

Answer 1

add 9 + 5

Answer 2

Well, step one is to isolate the variable :) So get 'x' by itself on one side of the = sign :)

1) x - 9 = -6x + 5

(what you do to one side, you MUST do to the other!! \(IMPORTANT\))

x -9+(9) = -6x + 5 +(9)

so x = -6x + 14

2) get -6x to the side that has 'x'

x + (6x) = -6x + (6x) + 14

x + 6x = 14

7x = 14

3) divide 14 by 7 and 7x by 7

7x / 7 = 14 / 7

x = 2




I hope this helps you :D
