Answer:
-17/2 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
9–5(x+4)=3(2–x)
Distribute
9 - 5x - 20 = 6 -3x
Combine like terms
-5x-11 = 6-3x
Add 5x to each side
-5x-11 +5x = 6-3x+5x
-11 = 6+2x
Subtract 6 from each side
-11-6 = 6+2x-6
-17 = 2x
Divide by 2
-17/2 = 2x/2
4
9+5(x+4)=3(2-x)
distributive property
9+5x+20=6-3x
common terms
29+5x+6-3x
minus 6 to both sides
23+5x=-3x
minus 5x to both sides
23=-8x
divide by 8
x=4
