Answer

The solution is $x=0.5$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow -4+9x=-3x+2$ Write a system of linear equations using each side of the original equation. $\Rightarrow y=-4+9x$ ...... (1) $\Rightarrow y=-3x+2$ ...... (2) By using graphing calculator graph the system. The intersection point is $(0.5,0.5)$. Check: $\Rightarrow -4+9x=-3x+2$ $\Rightarrow -4+9(0.5)=-3(0.5)+2$ $\Rightarrow -4+4.5=-1.5+2$ $\Rightarrow 0.5=0.5$ True. Hence, the solution is $x=0.5$.
