Answer:

x = 18/45 (or, in a decimal, 0.4). Someone correct me if I'm wrong. :)

Explanation:

We have to use the distributive property here. That means that you multiply -5x by 9 and -2 by 9. So...

9*-5x = -45x

9*-2 = -18

-45x = -18

Now, divide both sides by 45...

-45x/45 = -18/45

x = 18/45 should be the answer.
