Question

Solve 5x-9=3x+11.
Plss

Answer 1

Answer: x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression

5x - 9 = 3x + 11

Add 9 on both sides

5x - 9 + 9 = 3x + 11 + 9

5x = 3x + 20

Subtract 3x on both sides

5x - 3x = 3x + 20 - 3x

2x = 20

Divide 2 on both sides

2x / 2 = 20 / 2

$\boxed{x=10}$

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer 2

You first group like terms so 3x moves from the right side of the equation to the left and becomes negative whiles -9 moves from the left side of the equation to the right and becomes positive. You then solve to get (2x-20) and you then divide each side by 2 to get 10
