-5x-3-2x=-9
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-7x-3=-9
Combine -5x and -2x to get -7x.
-7x=-9+3
Add 3 to both sides.
-7x=-6
Add -9 and 3 to get -6.
x=\frac{-6}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
x=\frac{6}{7}
Fraction \frac{-6}{-7} can be simplified to \frac{6}{7} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
