Answer:

The answer is x = -5.

Explanation:

1) Subtract 2x from both sides.


4x + 9 - 2x = - 1

2) Simplify 4x + 9 - 2x to 2x + 9.


2x + 9 = - 1

3) Subtract 9 from both sides.


2x = - 1 - 9

4) Simplify - 1 - 9 to -10.


2x = - 10

5) Divide both sides by 2.


x = - (10)/(2)

6) Simplify 10/2 to 5.


x = - 5

Therefor, the answer is x = -5.
