Answer:
x=1
Explanation:
okay for a second i was going to do a huge explanation but i'll do a simple one.
9(1)-8+5(1)= 8(1)-2
9-8+5= 8-2
9-8= 1+5= 6
8-2= 6
so the answer is x=1, just plug in the number and then you can see if you are correct or not, thats the advice i give on doing these kind of equations. Hope this helps :D
