The first step to solving this is to multiply both sides of the equation by 15.
9x - 5x = 15x - 15
Collect all of the like terms on the left side of the equals sign.
4x = 15x - 15
Move the variable to the left side of the equation and change its sign.
4x - 15x = -15
Now collect the like terms on the left side of the equation for the second time.
-11x = -15
Lastly,, divide both sides of the equation by -11 to get your final answer.
[tex] \frac{15}{11} [/tex]
This means that the correct answer to your question is [tex] \frac{15}{11} [/tex],, or 1[tex] \frac{4}{11} [/tex] simplified.
