Answer: 1 [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]
Please read the whole thing and make sure you understand. Trust me, only copying and not learning will only make math harder.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3 = 9x - 5
Add 5 to both sides, cancelling off the 5 on the right
2x + 3 + 5 = 9x
2x + 8 = 9x
Subtract 2x from both sides, cancelling off the 2x on the left
8 = 9x - 2x
8 = 7x
Divide each side by 7, cancelling of the 7 from the x on the right
8 / 7 = x
1.4285714286... = 7
