Answer:

x = -1

Explanation:

First you multiply by crossover and you get 3(5-x)=18

Then divide the two wings and you'll get 5-x=6

Then you need to separate the x from the numbers

so you move 5 to the right side and you get -x=6-5

Then you calculate it and you get -x=1

and x= -1

hope it helped <3

Answer:


x=-1

Explanation:

Given the equation

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}9


(9\left(5-x\right))/(9)=(2\cdot \:9)/(3)


5-x=6


\mathrm{Subtract\:}5\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}


5-x-5=6-5


-x=1


x=-1
