You can put this solution on YOUR website! Get x all by itself on one side of the = sign. What ever you do to accomplish that you have to do to both sides.
x+5=9
x+5-5=9-5
x+0=4
x=4

Check by substituting the 4 in for x in the original equation and see if both sides equal.
(4)+5=9
9=9 We're right!!!
Happy Calculating!!!!
