X = - 11
5x + 2 = 4x - 9
Add 9 to both sides,
5x + 11 = 4x
subtract 5x to both sides
11 = -x
because you can't leave a negative sign on a x, multiply the negative sign to both sides,
-11 = x
Answer:
x = - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
5x + 2 = 4x - 9 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
x + 2 = - 9 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
