Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Flip the equation.
−2x−9=−19
Step 2: Add 9 to both sides.
−2x−9+9=−19+9
−2x=−10
Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.
Exact Form:
x = 9/17
Decimal Form:
x = 0.52941176…
Edit: "but what are the steps to get 9/17"
1. Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation.
2. Divide each term by −17 and simplify.
