Answer:

x=-15

Explanation:

First, write the equation.

5x+9=2x-36

Next, get ride of a variable on both sides before the actual numbers (it makes solving a lot easier).

5x+9=2x-36

-2x -2x

3x+9=-36

Subtract 9 on both sides.

3x+9=-36

-9 -9

3x=45

Divide by 3 on both sides to isolate x.

3x=-45

/3 /3

x=-15

Hope this helped you out...have a great day c:
