Answer: x = 2

Explanation:

Pull out like factors :

-9x + 18 = -9 • (x - 2)

Solve : -9 = 0

Solve : x-2 = 0

Add 2 to both sides of the equation :

x = 2

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU! :)

Answer:

x=2

Explanation:

If x is 2, then 5x+4 is 14, because 10+4 is 14. Also, 14x-14 would be 14 because 28-14 is 14. Both sides equal eachother.
