Transcript text: Solve the following equation
\[
\begin{array}{l}
x-9=-4 \\
x=
\end{array}
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the equation \(x - 9 = -4\), we need to isolate \(x\) on one side of the equation. This can be done by adding 9 to both sides of the equation.
Step 1: Isolate the Variable
To solve the equation \(x - 9 = -4\), we need to isolate \(x\). This can be achieved by adding 9 to both sides of the equation:
\[
x - 9 + 9 = -4 + 9
\]
Step 2: Simplify the Equation
Simplifying both sides, we have:
\[
x = 5
\]
Final Answer
The solution to the equation is \(\boxed{x = 5}\).
