Question

Find the value of x? 5x-9/4 = -2

Answer 1

`(5x-9)/(4) = -2`

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.


`5x - 9 = -8`

Add 9 to both sides of the equation.


`5x = 1`

Divide by 5.


`x = (1)/(5)` // answer



Check:


`(5( (1)/(5) ) - 9)/(4) = -2`


`(-8)/(4) = -2`


`-2 = -2`

Therefore, the answer is correct.
