2x%2B3x%2B4x-5=2%2B3%2B4x Start with the given equation.


9x-5=2%2B3%2B4x Combine like terms on the left side.


9x-5=4x%2B5 Combine like terms on the right side.


9x=4x%2B5%2B5 Add 5 to both sides.


9x-4x=5%2B5 Subtract 4x from both sides.


5x=5%2B5 Combine like terms on the left side.


5x=10 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2810%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x.


x=2 Reduce.
