Answer 3

Ok sorry that was my brother who put that🤗

Answer 4

5x + 2 = 4x − 9.

Subtract 4x from both sides.
Subtract 2 from both sides.

Solve for x.

Answer 5

i got
1x=x-11

Answer 6

Step by step:

You want the variable "x" on one side.

first: Remove -9 from the right y adding 9 to each side to get:

5x + 11 = 4x

Get the other term with "x" in it by subtracting 5. From both sides. Remember that 5x and 4 x are the same term because the both have x.

11= -1x

Divide both sides by -1 to get x by itself.

-11=x

Answer 7

ugh i don't get itt

Answer 8

PS: You don't need to start with the -9. You can start from either side. For example:

you could have subtracted 2 from both sides to get -11.

5x-11=4x

Then keep going

Answer 9

then i subratct 4x from each side and i get
x=-11 ??

Answer 10

Yes. You're right, Nina.

Answer 11

Don't worry.

Just remember you need to find x. You can't do that with x on both sides, right?

It's in 5x and 4x.

Get x to one side.

Remove 5x from the right. Whatever you do to one side you do to the other.

4x-5x=-1x (do not remove x as it can be any number and is a variable)

Now you have 2= -9-1x

not good. you want x alone on one side.

Remove -9 from both sides by adding 9 to both sides.

11= -1x

x is still not alone, so get rid of the -1. It is currently multiplying x, so you need to divide by -1 on both sides:

11/-1= -11

so x=-11. Good, x is alone.
