Solve for X

5x-5=9x+3

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, we want to find out what x is. In order to do this, we have to get x by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Keep in mind, everything done to one side, has to be done to the other.

5x-5=9x+3

9x is being added to 3. The opposite of addition is subtraction, so subtract 9x from both sides.

5x-9x-5=9x-9x+3

5x-9x-5=3

-4x-5=3

5 is being subtracted from -4x. The opposite of subtraction is addition, so add 5 to both sides.

-4x-5+5=3+5

-4x= 3+5

-4x=8

x is being multiplied by 4. The opposite of multiplication is division, so divide both sides by -4.

-4x/-4=8/-4

x=8/-4

x= -2
