Question

Solve 5x + 9 = 3x + 5.​

Answer 1

5x+9=3x+5

5x–3x = 9–5

2x =4

x = 4/2

x=2

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of x is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$5x + 9 = 3x + 5$

To find:- The value of the expression:

Here we will use the transposition method.

As we have,

=> $5x + 9 = 3x + 5$

Subtract both sides by $9$, we get

=> $5x + 9-9 = 3x + 5-9$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $5x = 3x + 5-9$

Subtract the numbers, we get

=> $5x = 3x -4$

Subtract both sides by $3x$, we get

=> $5x -3x= 3x -4-3x$

=> $2x = -4$

Divide both sides by $2$, we get

=> $x = -2$

Hence, the required solution is -2.
