Question

Solve x/2-9=4x+5. (SHOW WORK)

Answer 1

x/2-9=4x+5  times both sides by 2 and you'd get 8x+10=x-18   x/2 times 2/1 gives you just x.  so now you have 8x+10=x-18 minus 10 from both sides you get 8x=x-28  minus x from both sides you get 7x=-28 divide by 7 x=-4

Answer 2

x/2-9=4x+5 times both sides by 2 and you'd get 8x+10=x-18 x/2 times 2/1 gives you just x. so now you have 8x+10=x-18 minus 10 from both sides you get 8x=x-28 minus x from both sides you get 7x=-28 divide by 7 x=-4
