Solve for x
9x+5=0
get x by itself
What can you do to 5 to get it to the other side?
Then how do you make 9x into x, what's the opposite operation (hint: 9x is the same as saying 9*x or 9 multiplied by x). What's the opposite operation of multiplication then?
Ok thank you @ally
To solve for x in the equation 9x + 5 = 0, you need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
9x + 5 - 5 = 0 - 5
This simplifies to:
9x = -5
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 9 to isolate x:
9x/9 = -5/9
This simplifies to:
x = -5/9
So the solution to the equation 9x + 5 = 0 is x = -5/9.
