Hi I need help with this question. I am not asking for the answer because if not I wont learn like that. I am looking for a good step by step explanation. Thank you.
Solve for x: 5x + 2 = 4x − 9.
The answer is the opposite of positive eleven
I CLEARLY SAID THAT I DON'T WANT THE ANSWER PLEASE STOP GIVING PEOPLE ANSWERS WITHOUT EXPLANATION. WE ALL NEED HELP NOT THE ANSWERS. IF I WANTED THE ANSWER I COULD EASLIY SEARCH IT UP. PLEASE DO NOT POST ON ANY OF MY STUFF AGAIN. THANKS.
Ok sorry that was my brother who put that🤗
5x + 2 = 4x − 9.
Subtract 4x from both sides.
Subtract 2 from both sides.
Solve for x.
i got
1x=x-11
Step by step:
You want the variable "x" on one side.
first: Remove -9 from the right y adding 9 to each side to get:
5x + 11 = 4x
Get the other term with "x" in it by subtracting 5. From both sides. Remember that 5x and 4 x are the same term because the both have x.
11= -1x
Divide both sides by -1 to get x by itself.
-11=x
ugh i don't get itt
PS: You don't need to start with the -9. You can start from either side. For example:
you could have subtracted 2 from both sides to get -11.
5x-11=4x
Then keep going
then i subratct 4x from each side and i get
x=-11 ??
