Answer:
2 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
1: Add 5x to both sides ( to get rid of 5x, we are adding it because it is negative )
3 - 5x + 5x = -9 + x + 5x
3 = 6x -9
2: Add 9 to both sides ( to get rid of the 9, we are adding it because it is negative )
3 + 9 = 6x - 9 + 9
12 = 6x
3: Divide both sides by 6 to get x by itself
12/6 = 6x/6
2 = x
- Note: the reason why we make changes to both sides is to keep the statement true ( equal ) -
