5x%2B4-3x-2x=9x-7 Start with the given equation.


0x%2B4=9x-7 Combine like terms on the left side.


0x=9x-7-4 Subtract 4 from both sides.


0x-9x=-7-4 Subtract 9x from both sides.


-9x=-7-4 Combine like terms on the left side.


-9x=-11 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-11%29%2F%28-9%29 Divide both sides by -9 to isolate x.


x=11%2F9 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=11%2F9
