Question

$$-9x=-2x+243$$

Solve for x

$x = -\frac{243}{7} = -34\frac{5}{7} \approx -34.714285714$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $2x$ to both sides.

$$-9x+2x=243$$

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

$$-7x=243$$

Divide both sides by $-7$.

$$x=\frac{243}{-7}$$

Fraction $\frac{243}{-7}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{243}{7}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{243}{7}$$
