Question

$$2 x + 5 = 9 x = ?$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{5}{7}\approx 0.714285714$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $9x$ from both sides.

$$2x+5-9x=0$$

Combine $2x$ and $-9x$ to get $-7x$.

$$-7x+5=0$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-7x=-5$$

Divide both sides by $-7$.

$$x=\frac{-5}{-7}$$

Fraction $\frac{-5}{-7}$ can be simplified to $\frac{5}{7}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{5}{7}$$
