Answer: x = -1.8 + 0.6y

Explanation:

Simplifying

3y + -5x = 9

Reorder the terms:

-5x + 3y = 9

Solving

-5x + 3y = 9

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3y' to each side of the equation.

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

Combine like terms: 3y + -3y = 0

-5x + 0 = 9 + -3y

-5x = 9 + -3y

Divide each side by '-5'.

x = -1.8 + 0.6y

Simplifying

x = -1.8 + 0.6y
