9x-5=49
Square both sides of the equation.
9x-5-\left(-5\right)=49-\left(-5\right)
Add 5 to both sides of the equation.
9x=49-\left(-5\right)
Subtracting -5 from itself leaves 0.
9x=54
Subtract -5 from 49.
\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{54}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=\frac{54}{9}
Dividing by 9 undoes the multiplication by 9.
x=6
Divide 54 by 9.
