-20x+36=5x+9
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by 5x-9.
-20x+36-5x=9
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-25x+36=9
Combine -20x and -5x to get -25x.
-25x=9-36
Subtract 36 from both sides.
-25x=-27
Subtract 36 from 9 to get -27.
x=\frac{-27}{-25}
Divide both sides by -25.
x=\frac{27}{25}
Fraction \frac{-27}{-25} can be simplified to \frac{27}{25} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
