Question

9 ( x - 5 ) = -108 solve for x

Answer 1

x = - 7

Explanation:

9(x - 5) = - 108

9x - 45 = - 108

9x - 45 + 45 = - 108 + 45

9x = - 63

9x ÷ 9 = - 63 ÷ 9

x = - 7

Answer 2

x = -7

Explanation:

9 ( x - 5 ) = -108

9x - 45 = -108

add 45 to each side of the equation:

9x = -63

divide both sides by 9:

x = -7
