Question

Solve the equation for x

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x/5 - 9 = -7

2x/5      = -7 + 9

2x/5      = 2

2x         = 2 * 5

2x         = 10

x            = 10/2

x            = 5

 5

2

--- x = 2             multiply both sides by 5

 5

    2

5 * --- x = 2 * 5

     5

2x = 10

x = 10 / 2

x = 5
