Questions: 5x+9=44 x=

Transcript text: 5x+9=44 x=

Solution

Solution Steps

To solve the equation \(5x + 9 = 44\), we need to isolate the variable \(x\). This can be done by first subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation and then dividing the result by 5.

Step 1: Subtract 9 from both sides

Given the equation: \[ 5x + 9 = 44 \]

Subtract 9 from both sides: \[ 5x + 9 - 9 = 44 - 9 \] \[ 5x = 35 \]

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate \( x \): \[ x = \frac{35}{5} \] \[ x = 7.0 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{x = 7.0}\)
