Solve 9x+3=-3/5

$$9x+3=- \frac{ 3 }{ 5 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{2}{5}=-0.4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 3 from both sides.

$$9x=-\frac{3}{5}-3$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{15}{5}.

$$9x=-\frac{3}{5}-\frac{15}{5}$$

Since -\frac{3}{5} and \frac{15}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$9x=\frac{-3-15}{5}$$

Subtract 15 from -3 to get -18.

$$9x=-\frac{18}{5}$$

Divide both sides by 9.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{18}{5}}{9}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{18}{5}}{9} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-18}{5\times 9}$$

Multiply 5 and 9 to get 45.

$$x=\frac{-18}{45}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-18}{45} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 9.

$$x=-\frac{2}{5}$$
