Complete the steps to solve this linear equation: 2x + 9(x – 1) = 8(2x + 2) – 5

1.Apply the distributive property: 2x + 9x– 9 = 16x + 16 – 5

2.Combine like terms on each side: 11x – 9 = 16x + 11

3.Use the subtraction property of equality to isolate the variable term: –9 = 5x + 11

Use the subtraction property of equality to isolate the constant: –20 = 5x

4. Use the division property of equality to solve:
= x
