Answer:

3= 9+ 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

3=9+5x

now we pass 9 to the other side of the equation

3-9=5x

6=5x

now we divide the whole equation by 5

x=6/5

or if your teacher suggests another way of writing it

x= 1.2

x = -1 1/5

3 - 9 = -6

-1 1/5 * 5 = -6

You do 3 - 9 first to find the number

Then you do 5x = -6 and solve to get you number to be -6/5
