Answer:


\boxed {x = -20}

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
x:


(x)/(5) + 9 = 5

-Multiply both sides by
5:


5 * (x)/(5) + 9 = 5 * 5


x + 45 = 25

-Subtract both sides by
45:


x + 45 - 45 = 25 - 45


\boxed {x = -20}

Therefore, the value of
x is
-20.

Answer:


x=-20

Explanation:

We solve this by isolating the
x on one side, and the numbers on the other.


(x)/(5) +9=5


(x)/(5) +9-9=5-9


(x)/(5)=-4


(x)/(5)*5=-4*5


x = -20
