Full solution

Q. 5x−5=9x+35x-5=9x+3
  1. Move x terms to one side: First, let's move all the x terms to one side of the equation by subtracting 9x9x from both sides.\newline5x−5−9x=9x+3−9x5x - 5 - 9x = 9x + 3 - 9x
  2. Simplify the equation: Now, let's simplify the equation. −4x−5=3-4x - 5 = 3
  3. Isolate xx: Next, we'll get xx alone by adding 55 to both sides of the equation.\newline−4x−5+5=3+5-4x - 5 + 5 = 3 + 5
  4. Solve for x: Simplify the equation again.\newline−4x=8-4x = 8
  5. Final result: Finally, divide both sides by −4-4 to solve for xx.x=8−4x = \frac{8}{-4}
  6. Final result: Finally, divide both sides by −4-4 to solve for xx.\newlinex=8/−4x = 8 / -4 So, xx equals −2-2.
