-x-9=-11x-5
-x+11x-9=-11x+11x-5
10x-9=-5
10x-9+9=-5+9
10x=4
10x/10=4/10
highlight%28x=2%2F5%29
or
highlight%28x=.4%29
Sometimes teachers want fractions others want a decimal.
Check, if x=.4 do the sides of the equation equal?
-(.4)-9=-11(.4)-5
-9.4=-4.4-5
-9.4=-9.4 Yes, we're right!!!
Happy Calculating!!!!
