Question 650244
{{{-8x-5+3x=7+4x-9}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-5x-5=7+4x-9}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-5x-5=4x-2}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-5x=4x-2+5}}} Add {{{5}}} to both sides.



{{{-5x-4x=-2+5}}} Subtract {{{4x}}} from both sides.



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



{{{-9x=3}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(3)/(-9)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-9}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-1/3}}} Reduce.
