(9x + 5) - (4x + 3)

Please show work

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(9x + 5) + -1(4x + 3) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(5 + 9x) + -1(4x + 3) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (5 + 9x)

5 + 9x + -1(4x + 3) = 0

Reorder the terms:

5 + 9x + -1(3 + 4x) = 0

5 + 9x + (3 * -1 + 4x * -1) = 0

5 + 9x + (-3 + -4x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

5 + -3 + 9x + -4x = 0

Combine like terms: 5 + -3 = 2

2 + 9x + -4x = 0

Combine like terms: 9x + -4x = 5x

2 + 5x = 0

Solving

2 + 5x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.

2 + -2 + 5x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0

0 + 5x = 0 + -2

5x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2

5x = -2

Divide each side by '5'.

x = -0.4

Simplifying

x = -0.4

easy boy

your answer would be 10x - 1

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
