Answer 1

Solution: x = 5/3

First step: Add 5 to both sides of the equation

Explanation:

We can solve 9x - 5 = 10 for x using the following steps:

Step 1: Add 5 to both sides:

(9x - 5 = 10) + 5

9x = 15

Step 2: Divide both sides by 9 to solve for x and simplify:

(9x = 15) / 9

x = 15/9

x = 5/3

Thus, x = 5/3.
