Hey there! :)
Answer:
x = 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting with:
5x - 1 = 6x - 9
Subtract 5x from both sides:
5x - 5x - 1 = 6x - 5x - 9
-1 = x - 9
Add 9 to both sides:
-1 + 9 = x - 9 + 9
8 = x.
x=8
We can start by subtracting 5x from both sides
That leaves us with -1=x-9
Then we can add 9 to both sides to cancel out the -9
