Question 105319

{{{6x-2=9x+5}}} Start with the given equation




{{{6x=9x+5+2}}}Add 2 to both sides



{{{6x-9x=5+2}}} Subtract 9x from both sides



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



{{{-3x=7}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(7)/(-3)}}} Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x



{{{x=-7/3}}} Simplify


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=-7/3}}}  (which is approximately {{{x=-2.33333333333333}}} in decimal form)
