Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 9 = 2x +5 add 9 from both sides
4x = 2x +14 subtract 2x from both sides
2x = 14. divide both sides by 2
Rewrite equation
4x - 9 = 2x + 5
Add 9 on both sides
4x -9 +9 = 2x + 5 + 9
Simplify
4x = 2x + 14
Subtract 2x on both sides
4x - 2x = 2x + 14 - 2x
2x = 14
Finally divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 14/2
Hope this helps :)
