Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

: 4(x + 5) = 9x + 4x − 34

Combine Like Terms:

- 4x + 20 = 9x + 4x − 34

- 4x + 20 = 13x − 34

Subtract 20 from both sides:

- 4x + 20-20 = 13x − 34-20

Subtract The numbers:

= 4x = 13x - 54

Subtract 13x from both sides:

= 4x-13x = 13x - 54-13x

Combine Like terms:

- 9x = -54

Divide both sides by the same factor:

-9x / -9 = -54 / -9

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator:

x = -54/-9

Divide the Numbers:

x = 6
