Mason Mack · Answer 1

add - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

once you add 2x you get

5+5x=9

you have to have something on both sides since the next step would be to divide so you would add - 5 to 9 and get 4 leaving you with

5x=4

where then you would divide to get your final answer of x=4/5 or. 8
