Hi there!
Answer:
Subtraction property of equality.
x=4
The answer must have a positive sign.*
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtraction property of equality
a-c=b-c
First, you switch sides of an equation.
\(x+5=9\)
Then, you subtract by 5 from both sides of an equation.
\(x+5-5=9-5\)
Finally, you can also subtract by the numbers.
\(9-5=4\)
Answer: \(x=4\)
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
