Answer 1

6x+5=9x-1
6x+4=9x
3x=4
X=4/3

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

Hello!

Let the unknown number be x. The product of 6 and that number can be represented by 6x. And since we are adding 5, we can use 6x + 5 to represent that expression.

This equation is equal to the difference of 9x and 1, or 9x - 1.

Solve for x

• 6x + 5 = 9x - 1
• 5 = 3x - 1
• 6 = 2x
• 2 = x

The value of x is 2.
