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
Let me know if you have any questions :)
Answer:
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
