Solve 10x-5 = 9x?

Answer 1

Solve for "x" .... 10x - 5 = 9x

The equation can also be written as....

9x = 10x - 5

First: combine the coefficients with the x-variable on one side (left) --- subtract "10x" from both sides (when you move a term to the opposite side, always use the opposite sign)....

9x - 10x = 10x - 10x - 5

9x - 10x = - 5

- x = - 5

Sec: the x-variable has to be positive > change the signs on both sides of the equation....

x = 5

Answer 2

x = 5

Answer 3

5

Answer 4

5

Answer 5

Simplifying
10x + -5 = 9x

Reorder the terms:
-5 + 10x = 9x

Solving
-5 + 10x = 9x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 10x + -9x = 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 10x + -9x = 1x
-5 + 1x = 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0
-5 + 1x = 0

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + 1x = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + 1x = 0 + 5
1x = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
1x = 5

Divide each side by '1'.
x = 5

Simplifying
x = 5

Answer 6

10x - 5 = 9x
(subtract equal things (9x) from both sides of the equation):
10x - 5 - 9x = 9x - 9x
x - 5 = 0
(add equal things (5) to both sides of the equation):
x - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5
x = 5

Answer 7

10x - 5 = 9x
subtract 9x from both sides:

x - 5 = 0
add 5 to both sides:

x = 5

Answer 8

10x-5 = 9x

subtract 9 for both sides
x-5 = 0

add 5 for both sides
x= 5

Answer 9

10x-5=9x (transport 9x to other side so variablesareonsameside)
10x-9x=5
x=5

Answer 10

10x-5=9x
10x-9x=5
x=5
