To solve the equation \(-5x + 9 = 24\), follow these steps: 1. Subtract 9 from both sides: \[ -5x = 24 - 9 \] \[ -5x = 15 \] 2. Divide both sides by -5: \[ x = \frac{15}{-5} \] \[ x = -3 \] So, the solution is \( x = -3 \).

To solve the equation \(-5x + 9 = 24\), follow these steps:

Subtract 9 from both sides: \[ -5x = 24 - 9 \] \[ -5x = 15 \]
Divide both sides by -5: \[ x = \frac{15}{-5} \] \[ x = -3 \]

So, the solution is \( x = -3 \).
