Let's solve the problem given to us today! The problem is the following:

`\mapsto\quad\bf{9-2x=25}`

We need to solve for x.

So first, we subtract 9 from both sides:
`-2x=25-9`

Simplify:
`-2x=16`

Divide both sides by -2:
`x=-8`

Therefore, x = -8.

Answer 2

x = -8

divide both sides by -2

x = -8
