Get all of the x's on one side of the equation and everything else on the other side.

# 2x + 4 = -9x# add 9x to both sides of the equation.

# 2x + 9x + 4 = -9x + 9x # This gives.

# 11 x + 4 = 0# subtract 4 from both sides

# 11x +4 -4 = 0 -4# which results in

# 11x = -4# divide both sides by 11

# (11x) /11 = - 4/11# the answer is

# x = -4/11#
