Question 130595
9+5x=7x-3    nine more than five times a number-rewrite as  9+5x
             is equal to- rewrite as =
             3 less than seven times the number-means 3 subtracted from 7x 
             rewrite as 7x-3 .   Now you have the equation to be solved.
             Subtract 7x from both sides of the equation
9-2x=-3
             Subtract 9 from both sides.
-2x=-12
             Divide both sides by -2
x=6
