Answer:

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

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

15x = (-4)

x = (-4/15)

\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:x = -\cfrac{4}{15}

\large \tt Solution \: :


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 6x - 5 = - 9x - 9

[ add 9x and 5 on both sides ]


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 6x - 5 + 9x + 5 = - 9x - 9 + 9x + 5


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 6x + 9x = - 9 + 5


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 15x = - 4


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x = - \cfrac{4}{15}
