    5x + 10 = - 4x - 17

    +4x + 4x

    5x + 4x = 9x

    9x + 10 = - 17

    -10 - 10

    -27

    9x = - 27 9x/9 = - 27/9

    x = - 3

    this is how you solve for x;

    5x + 10 = - 4x - 17

    5x + 4x + 10 = - 4x + 4x - 17 (add 4x on both sides)

    9x + 10 = - 17

    9x + 10-10 = - 17 - 10 (subtract 10 on both sides)

    9x = - 27 (next do the inverse operation of x)

    x = - 27 : 9

    x = - 3
