6x53x9 I got 7 but answer sheet said that 7Solution6x53x9 di

6(x-5)-3x=-9

I got -7 but answer sheet said that 7.

6(x-5)-3x=-9

distribute 6 with x-5 we get,

6x-30 -3x = -9

now add/subtract like terms

6x-3x-30= -9

=> 3x - 30= -9

Add 30 both sides, we get

3x = -9 + 30 = 21

divide both sides by 3, we get

3x/3 = 21/3

=> x = 7

Hope it Helps!!
