Solve 5x + 4 = 9

The solution of 5x + 4 = 9 is x = 1.

Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 5x + 4 and y = 9 meet at x = 1-4-2246-20-1010203040x = 1y = 5x + 4y = 9
The lines y = 5x + 4 and y = 9 meet at x = 1. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    5x+4=95x + 4 = 9
  2. 2

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    5x+4−4=9−4 ⇒ 5x=55x + 4 - 4 = 9 - 4 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 5
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=55 ⇒ x=1\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{5}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 1
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 1 back into the equation.
