Used the equation Editor (or 9
MsEquation 3.0, found in "insert" then "object)
5=6x+9
6x=5-9
6x=-4
x=-2/3
To solve the equation 5 = 6x + 9, we need to isolate the variable x. Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start with the original equation: 5 = 6x + 9.
2. Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x: 5 - 9 = 6x.
This simplifies to -4 = 6x.
3. To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 6: (-4) / 6 = (6x) / 6.
This simplifies to x = -2/3.
So, the solution to the equation 5 = 6x + 9 is x = -2/3.
Regarding the equation editor, you mentioned using the Equation Editor or MsEquation 3.0 found in Microsoft Word. These tools are useful for creating mathematical equations, but they do not perform calculations or solve equations automatically. You'll need to manually perform the steps I described above to solve the equation.
