Question

Solve the equation . Show your work

Answer 1

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 2

`x=-1`

Explanation:

Given the equation

`(5-x)/(9)=(2)/(3)`

`\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`
