Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable you are solving for.

In this case, -5x needs to be divided by -5 to isolate x. But you must do to one side of the equation what you did to the other, so -45 must also be divided by -5x.

-5x/-5=-45/-5

x=9

-5x=-45 divide -5 on both sides...
The -5’s cancel out and you’re left with
-45 divided by -5 a (-) divided by another (-) is a (+). So the answer is x=+9 or just x=9 that’s also fine. Hope that helps
