Question

Solve. 9(x+1)=4-2(9x+5)

Answer 1

x = -5 / 9

Explanation:

9(x + 1) = 4 - 2(9x + 5)

9x + 9 = 4 - 18x - 10

27x = -15

x = -15 / 27 or -5 / 9

Answer 2

-5/9

Explanation:

9(x+1)=4-2(9x+5)

Distribute

9x+9=4-18x-10

Add 4 and -10

9x+9=-6-18x

Move -18 to the left side and change sign

9x+9+18x=-6

Move 9 over and change sign

9x+18x=-6-9

Combine like terms

27x=-15

Divide both sides by 27

X=-5/9
