To solve the equation \( 6x - 5 = 9 - x \), follow these steps:
Add \( x \) to both sides to eliminate \( -x \) from the right side:
\[ 6x + x - 5 = 9 \]
Simplifying gives:
\[ 7x - 5 = 9 \]
Add 5 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[ 7x - 5 + 5 = 9 + 5 \]
Which simplifies to:
\[ 7x = 14 \]
Divide both sides by 7 to solve for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{14}{7} = 2 \]
Thus, the solution is \( x = 2 \).
