What is the solution to this equation?
5x - 32x - 9

x = -2 :)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 3 = 2x - 9

3x = -6

-6/3 = -2

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

I dunno which one to answer so I'll do both. (the question you posted or the picture??)

5x - 32x - 9

First we can combine the like terms 5x and -32x. Which is -27x

We can't combine -9 with anything so it stays the same.

-27x - 9

5x - 3 = 2x - 9

-2x        -2x      

3x - 3 = -9

Here I subtracted -2 from both sides.

3x - 3 = -9

    +3    +3

3x = -6

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable.

x = -2

(sorry this is so long) Hope this helps and have a great day!
