-5x + 2 – 4x = 47 Solve for X.

$\begin{array}{rcll} -5x + 2 – 4x &=& 47 \\ -5x – 4x + 2 &=& 47 \\ -9x + 2 &=& 47 \qquad &| \qquad \cdot(-1)\\ 9x - 2 &=& -47 \qquad &| \qquad +2\\ 9x &=& -47 +2\\ 9x &=& -45 \qquad &| \qquad :9\\ x &=& -\frac{45}{9} \\ x &=& -\frac{5\cdot 9}{9} \\ \mathbf{x } &\mathbf{=}& \mathbf{-5} \end{array}$

-5x+2-4x=47

     -9x+2=45  |-2

         -9x=45  |:(-9)
