Question

$$4x-13=9x+12$$

Solve for x

$x=-5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $9x$ from both sides.

$$4x-13-9x=12$$

Combine $4x$ and $-9x$ to get $-5x$.

$$-5x-13=12$$

Add $13$ to both sides.

$$-5x=12+13$$

Add $12$ and $13$ to get $25$.

$$-5x=25$$

Divide both sides by $-5$.

$$x=\frac{25}{-5}$$

Divide $25$ by $-5$ to get $-5$.

$$x=-5$$
