Full solution

Q. Solve for xx.\newline5x+9=5+3x5x+9=5+3x
  1. Isolate variable terms: Isolate the variable terms on one side of the equation.\newlineTo do this, we will subtract 3x3x from both sides of the equation to get the xx terms on one side.\newline5x+93x=5+3x3x5x + 9 - 3x = 5 + 3x - 3x\newlineThis simplifies to:\newline2x+9=52x + 9 = 5
  2. Isolate constant terms: Isolate the constant terms on the other side of the equation.\newlineNow, we will subtract 99 from both sides of the equation to get the constant terms on the other side.\newline2x+99=592x + 9 - 9 = 5 - 9\newlineThis simplifies to:\newline2x=42x = -4
  3. Solve for x: Solve for x.\newlineTo find the value of xx, we will divide both sides of the equation by 22.\newline2x2=42\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{-4}{2}\newlineThis simplifies to:\newlinex=2x = -2
