Question

Solve for x
2x-5=3x+4

Answer 1

x = -9

Explanation:

move the terms: you need to move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign so the new equation would be 2x-3x=4+5

combine like terms: add the x values together and add the integers together the new equation would be -x=9

You need x to be positive so divide both sides by -x to make the x positive and that will you give the answer of -9

Answer 2

x=-9

Explanation:

move the variable to the left hand side and change its sign

combine like terms

and then solve like a two step equation
