The solution

You have entered [src]
-2*(x - 5) = 9
$$- 2 \left(x - 5\right) = 9$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-2*(x-5) = 9

Expand brackets in the left part
-2*x+2*5 = 9

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 2 x = -1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -2
x = -1 / (-2)

We get the answer: x = 1/2
