2x+9=-x-x-5x
Combine 5x and -3x to get 2x.
2x+9=-x-6x
Combine -x and -5x to get -6x.
2x+9+x=-6x
Add x to both sides.
3x+9=-6x
Combine 2x and x to get 3x.
3x+9+6x=0
Add 6x to both sides.
9x+9=0
Combine 3x and 6x to get 9x.
9x=-9
Subtract 9 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-9}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=-1
Divide -9 by 9 to get -1.
