Solve -8x+2x+9=-2x+4-x

$$-8x+2x+9 = -2x+4-x$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3} \approx 1.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine -8x and 2x to get -6x.

$$-6x+9=-2x+4-x$$

Combine -2x and -x to get -3x.

$$-6x+9=-3x+4$$

Add 3x to both sides.

$$-6x+9+3x=4$$

Combine -6x and 3x to get -3x.

$$-3x+9=4$$

Subtract 9 from both sides.

$$-3x=4-9$$

Subtract 9 from 4 to get -5.

$$-3x=-5$$

Divide both sides by -3.

$$x=\frac{-5}{-3}$$

Fraction \frac{-5}{-3} can be simplified to \frac{5}{3} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{5}{3}$$
