Question

$$- 9 x + 10 = - 5 - 4 x$$

Solve for x

$x=3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $4x$ to both sides.

$$-9x+10+4x=-5$$

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

$$-5x+10=-5$$

Subtract $10$ from both sides.

$$-5x=-5-10$$

Subtract $10$ from $-5$ to get $-15$.

$$-5x=-15$$

Divide both sides by $-5$.

$$x=\frac{-15}{-5}$$

Divide $-15$ by $-5$ to get $3$.

$$x=3$$
