Question

Whats the equation
9 more than the product of a number and 5 is 2

Answer 1

5x + 9 = 2 (solution is - 1.4)

==========

The equation can be represented as:

• 5x + 9 = 2

To solve this equation, you need to isolate the variable 'x'. First, subtract 9 from both sides:

• 5x = -7

Then, divide both sides by 5:

• x = -7/5 = - 1.4
