Answer:
x = -28
Step-by-step explanation:
(9x + 42) - 5x = -70
Remove the parentheses since they are unnecessary here.
9x + 42 - 5x = -70
Combine like terms on the left side.
4x + 42 = -70
Subtract 42 from both sides.
4x = -112
Divide both sides by 4.
x = -28

Answer:
x= -28
___________________
Step-by-step explanation:
(9x + 42) – 5x = -70
⇔ 9x+42-5x=-70
⇔ (9x-5x)+42= -70
⇔ 4x= -70-42
⇔ 4x= -112
⇔ x=-112÷4
⇔ x= -28.
