Solve 2x+3x+4+5=6x+7x-8-9

$$2x+3x+4+5=6x+7x-8-9$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{13}{4} = 3\frac{1}{4} = 3.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 2x and 3x to get 5x.

$$5x+4+5=6x+7x-8-9$$

Add 4 and 5 to get 9.

$$5x+9=6x+7x-8-9$$

Combine 6x and 7x to get 13x.

$$5x+9=13x-8-9$$

Subtract 9 from -8 to get -17.

$$5x+9=13x-17$$

Subtract 13x from both sides.

$$5x+9-13x=-17$$

Combine 5x and -13x to get -8x.

$$-8x+9=-17$$

Subtract 9 from both sides.

$$-8x=-17-9$$

Subtract 9 from -17 to get -26.

$$-8x=-26$$

Divide both sides by -8.

$$x=\frac{-26}{-8}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-26}{-8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.

$$x=\frac{13}{4}$$
