2x-6=8+5x+45
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+9.
2x-6=53+5x
Add 8 and 45 to get 53.
2x-6-5x=53
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-3x-6=53
Combine 2x and -5x to get -3x.
-3x=53+6
Add 6 to both sides.
-3x=59
Add 53 and 6 to get 59.
x=\frac{59}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=-\frac{59}{3}
Fraction \frac{59}{-3} can be rewritten as -\frac{59}{3} by extracting the negative sign.
