What is the solution of the equation
X + 5 = -9?

X = -14 is the solution of the above equation. Hope it helps!! :)

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

We must isolate x by itself for solve for its value. To do so, we must subtract 5 on left side. What we do to one side, we do to the other side, so we subtract 5 from right as well. However, on right side, two negatives means we actually end up adding (and keeping the negative sign) and thus you get -14.

X + 5 - 5 = -9 -5

X = -14
