8x-5=6x+9, add five to both sides
8x=6x+14, subtract 6x from both sides
2x=14, divide by two
x=7
8x-5=6x+9
First you have to find on which side is x multiplied by a bigger number and take all other terms away from it for example the -5
8x-5 +5 =6x+9 +5
=
8x=6x+14
Now we want to leave all the terms with x on the one side ( the one with the bigger number multiply the x)
8x -6x = 6x+4 -6x
2x=4
Now we divide the 2x by 2( remember what you do to one side you have to do to another)
add the five to nine and subtract the 6 from 8 to get 2x=14 then divide by 2 to get x=7.
