Question

Please help with this problem 24=9−5x

Answer 1

X would equal -3

You want to isolate x in the equation, first you would want to subtract 9 from both sides of the equation which would become 15=-5x. Next you want to divide by -5 to see what x would be, the equation would now look like -3=x.

Answer 2

Answer:

24=9-5x

24-9=-5x

15=-5x

15\-5=-5x\-5

-3=x

x=-3
