Answer:
The solution for -3x + 9 = 5x – 23 is 4
Solution:
From question, given that -3x + 9 = 5x – 23
By moving 5x from right side to left side, we get the above equation as,
-3x – 5x + 9 = – 23
By combining -3x and -5x,
We know that addition of -3x and -5x yields -8x. hence the above equation becomes,
-8x + 9 = -23
By moving 9 from left side to right side, the above equation becomes,
-8x = -23 -9
-8x = -32
Negative sign on both sides cancels out each other.
8x = 32
[tex]x = \frac{32}{8} = 4[/tex]
hence the solution of -3x + 9 = 5x – 23 is 4
