Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

Hello there!

We'll start off my combining or getting rid of/simplifying like terms.

10x -9 = -2x - 69

+2x +2x

12x-9= -69

Now we want to get rid of the 9 so we can have an equal balanced equation

12x -9 = -69

+9 +9

12x = -60

Now isolate the x to solve

12x = -60

12x/12= -60/12

x = -5

Hope this help you and feel free to comment if u have any questions or need further explanation :)
