Question

Solve the following

`5x-2= -9x+8`
​

Answer 1

5 / 7

Explanation:

Step 1: Move the variables to one side and the numbers to the other. We get 14x = 10.

Step 2: Then we solve for x. x is equal to 10 / 14, which simplifies to 5 / 7.

Answer 2

5x - 2 = (-9x) + 8

5x + 9x = 8 + 2

14 x = 10

x = 10 / 14

x = 5/7
