    Step-by-step explanation:

    5x + 9 = 8x

    5x + 9 - 5x = 8x - 5x

    9 = 3x

    9/3 = 3x/3

    3 = x

    x = 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    5x+9-9=8x-9 - Subtract 9 from both sides

    5x=8x-9-Simplify

    5x-8x=8x-9-8x - Subtract 8 from both sides

    -3x=9x - Simplify

    -3x/3=9x/3-Divide 3 from both sides

    x=3 - Simplify and there's your answer.
