Question

Solve for x

5x+2=4x-9

Answer 1

Hello!

5x + 2 = 4x - 9

5x - 4x = - 9 - 2

x = -11

Answer 2

Hello !

Answer:

`\Large \boxed{\sf x=-11}`

Explanation:

We want to find the value of x that satisfies the following equation :

`\sf 5x+2=4x-9`

Let's isolate x !

First, substract 4x from both sides :

`\sf 5x+2-4x=4x-9-4x\\x+2=-9`

Now let's substract 2 from both sides :

`\sf x+2-2=-9-2\\\boxed{\sf x=-11}`

Have a nice day ;)
