Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5x + 9 = 2x + -3

Reorder the terms:

9 + 5x = 2x + -3

Reorder the terms:

9 + 5x = -3 + 2x

Solving

9 + 5x = -3 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

9 + 5x + -2x = -3 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

9 + 3x = -3 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

9 + 3x = -3 + 0

9 + 3x = -3

Add '-9' to each side of the equation.

9 + -9 + 3x = -3 + -9

Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0

0 + 3x = -3 + -9

3x = -3 + -9

Combine like terms: -3 + -9 = -12

3x = -12

Divide each side by '3'.

x = -4

Simplifying

x = -4
