Question 318970


{{{2x+3x+4x-5=2+3+4x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{9x-5=2+3+4x}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{9x-5=4x+5}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{9x=4x+5+5}}} Add {{{5}}} to both sides.



{{{9x-4x=5+5}}} Subtract {{{4x}}} from both sides.



{{{5x=5+5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



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



{{{x=(10)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=2}}} Reduce.
