5x + 6 = 9

Subtract 6 from both sides.

5x = 3

Divide 5 in both sides.


x =(3)/(5)

To summarize

  1. Subtract 6 from both sides
  2. 6-6 = 0
  3. 9-6 = 3
  4. 5x = 3
  5. Divide 5 from both sides

  6. x =(5)/(3)


\boxed{\text{Therefore, the answer is } x= (3)/(5)}

5x + 6 = 9

  • To solve for x first subtract 6 from both sides.

5x = 3

  • Divide both sides by 5.

x = 3/5
