Question

Can someone pls help me get the anwser for this question

Answer 1

Answer:
`\Large\boxed{x=6.5}`

Explanation:

Given equation

-9 - (x + 1) = -2 - (3x - 5)

Expand the parenthesis

-9 - x - 1 = -2 - 3x + 5

Combine like terms

-9 - 1 - x = -2 + 5 - 3x

-10 - x = 3 - 3x

Add 3x on both sides

-10 - x + 3x = 3 - 3x + 3x

-10 + 2x = 3

Add 10 on both sides

-10 + 2x + 10 = 3 + 10

2x = 13

Divide 2 on both sides

2x / 2 = 13 / 2

`\Large\boxed{x=6.5}`

Hope this helps!! :)
