Answer:

-4 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 9(x – 1) = 8(2x + 2) – 5

Distribute

2x +9x -9 = 16x+16 -5

Combine like terms

11x-9 = 16x +11

Subtract 11x from each side

11x-9-11x = 16x-11x+11

-9 = 5x+11

Subtract 11 from each side

-9-11 = 5x+11-11

-20 = 5x

Divide by 5

-20/5 = 5x/5

-4 =x
