$3/11 or 0.bar27$

$6x - 9 + 4 = 5x + 10x - 8$

First I would add them all up:

$6x - 5 = 15x - 8$

Then I would subtract $6x$ for each side, a hi would cancel 6x. You

do this because you should not have two variables on both sides.

You should have one variable on one side.

This would result in $-5 = 11x - 8$

I would now add $8$ to both sides which cancels the $-8$

It would look like this:

$3 = 11x$

Divide each side by $11$

You can either leave it as a fraction of $3/11$ or turn it into a

decimal.

The decimal would be $0.27$ repeating

Hopefully this has helped you and feel free to ask any questions

anytime and I will try my best in answering them!
