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

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

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

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

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

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

$\frac{11 x}{11} = - \frac{4}{11}$ $(11x) /11 = - 4/11$ the answer is

$x = - \frac{4}{11}$ $x = -4/11$
