Solve for x in the equation - 9 (x-5) = - 10x

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x-45=-10x

add 9x to both sides

-45=-x

x=45

Answer: x = - 45

Step-by-step explanation:

-9 (x-5) = - 10x

Use distributive property and multiply-9 thru the first parentheses set

-9x + 45 = - 10x

45 becomes positive by multiplying two negative numbers together

Add 10x to both sides to isolate the x variable

-9x + 10x = x

Subtract 45 from both sides to move the number from left to right side of =

X = - 45
