Question

-5x+2=-9x+38 am crying

Answer 1

The given equation is

$-5x+2=-9x+38$

First, we add 9x on each side.

$\begin{gathered} -5x+9x+2=-9x+9x+38 \\ 4x+2=38 \end{gathered}$

Then, we subtract 2 from each side.

$\begin{gathered} 4x+2-2=38-2 \\ 4x=36 \end{gathered}$

At last, we divide the equation by 4.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{36}{4} \\ x=9 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the solution is x = 9.
