x = -5

9x - 9 = 5x - 29

Subtract 5x from both sides.

9x - 9 -5x = 5x - 29 -5x

4x - 9 = -29

Add 9 to both sides.

4x - 9 +9 = -29 +9

4x = -20

Divide both sides by 4.

4x /4 = -20 /4

x = -5

Let me know if you have any questions :)

Answer:

x = -5

Explanation:

1. add 29 to both sides: 9x + 20 = 5x

2. subtract 5x on both sides: 4x + 20 = 0

3. subtract 20 on both sides: 4x = -20

4. divide by 4 on both sides: x = -5
