Answer: 1. [tex]x=-2[/tex]; 2. [tex]x=\frac{11}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation :

1.

[tex]6-5x=16\\6-5x-6=16-6\\-5x=10\\\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{10}{-5}\\x=-2[/tex]

2.

[tex]4-9x=-7\\4-9x-4=-7-4\\-9x=-11\\\frac{-9x}{-9}=\frac{-11}{-9}\\x=\frac{11}{9}[/tex]

Answer:

Q1)   x =2         Q2)     x = 11/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1)   6 - 5x = 16                  check : -5(2) = -10

-6         -6                     6 -- 10 =  6+ 10 = 16

-5x = 10                         Q2)   4 - 9x = -7

-x = -2                                    -4           -4  

x = 2                                      -9x = - 11

--------------                               -x = -11 /9    ----->  x = 11/9
