Question

3. What value of x makes the equation below true?
5x+4 =9x-12

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Get all the x's to one side and all the non x's to the other. we could do 5x-9x = -12-4.

We get -4x = -16. Then, divide by -4. Dividing two negatives gets a positive. So, -16/-4 = 4

the answer is 4
