5x-6=3-4x Start with the given equation.


5x-6%2B6=3-4x%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


5x%2B4x=3-4x%2B6%2B4x Add 4x to both sides.


9x=3%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


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


%289x%29%2F9=%289%29%2F%289%29 Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x.


x=1 Reduce.
