5x-b=9
Combine 3x and 2x to get 5x.
-b=9-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides.
\frac{-b}{-1}=\frac{9-5x}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
b=\frac{9-5x}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
b=5x-9
Divide 9-5x by -1.
5x-b=9
Combine 3x and 2x to get 5x.
5x=9+b
Add b to both sides.
5x=b+9
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{b+9}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{b+9}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
