Solve -9-5(3x+3)=5(-9-4x)+1

$$- 9 - 5 ( 3 x + 3 ) = 5 ( - 9 - 4 x ) + 1$$

Solve for x

$$x=-4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by 3x+3.

$$-9-15x-15=5\left(-9-4x\right)+1$$

Subtract 15 from -9 to get -24.

$$-24-15x=5\left(-9-4x\right)+1$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by -9-4x.

$$-24-15x=-45-20x+1$$

Add -45 and 1 to get -44.

$$-24-15x=-44-20x$$

Add 20x to both sides.

$$-24-15x+20x=-44$$

Combine -15x and 20x to get 5x.

$$-24+5x=-44$$

Add 24 to both sides.

$$5x=-44+24$$

Add -44 and 24 to get -20.

$$5x=-20$$

Divide both sides by 5.

$$x=\frac{-20}{5}$$

Divide -20 by 5 to get -4.

$$x=-4$$
