Simplify Equation: First, simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms.On the right side, combine the x terms: 13x−x=12x.Now the equation is 4x+5=12x+4−9.Next, combine the constant terms on the right side: 4−9=−5.The simplified equation is 4x+5=12x−5.
Move X Terms: Next, move all the x terms to one side by subtracting 4x from both sides of the equation.This gives us 5=12x−4x−5.Now combine the x terms on the right side: 12x−4x=8x.The equation now reads 5=8x−5.
Move Constant Terms: Now, move all the constant terms to the other side by adding 5 to both sides of the equation.This gives us 5+5=8x.Combine the constant terms on the left side: 5+5=10.The equation now reads 10=8x.
Solve for X: Finally, solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 8. This gives us 810=x. Simplify the fraction on the left side: 810=45. So, x=45.
