~~~~9x=28-5x\\\\\implies 9x +5x = 28\\\\\implies 14x = 28\\\\\implies x = (28)/(14)\\\\\implies x = 2

Explanation:

Given Equation,


\\ \longrightarrow \qquad \sf 9x=28-5x \\ \\

Now, Adding 5x to both sides we get :


\\ \longrightarrow \qquad \sf 9x + 5x=28-5x + 5x \\ \\


\longrightarrow \qquad \sf 14x=28 \\ \\

Dividing 14 from both sides we have :


\\ \longrightarrow \qquad \sf (14x)/( 14 ) = (28)/(14) \\ \\


\longrightarrow \qquad \sf x=2 \\ \\

Therefore,

  • The value of x is 2
