9-5x-5=4+x

4-5x=4+x
Subtract 5 from 9 to get 4.
4-5x-x=4
Subtract x from both sides.
4-6x=4
Combine -5x and -x to get -6x.
-6x=4-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-6x=0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -6 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
