Answer:

3/10

Explanation:

First you have to start by combining like terms. On the left side of the equations we can combine the like terms 5x and -9x to get -4x

Now the equation is -4x-1=6x-4 Now solve for x

Add 4x to both sides -1=10x-4

Add 4 to both sides 3=10x

Divide both sides by 10 x=3/10
