The first step to solving the equation 9x - 5 = 10 is to isolate the variable x.
To do this, we can add 5 to both sides of the equation:
9x - 5 + 5 = 10 + 5
This simplifies to:
9x = 15
The next step is to divide both sides of the equation by 9:
9x/9 = 15/9
The simplified equation is:
x = 15/9
This can be further simplified to:
x = 5/3 or x ≈ 1.67
Therefore, the solution to the equation 9x - 5 = 10 is x = 5/3 (or x ≈ 1.67).

To find the solution to the equation 9x - 5 = 10, you need to isolate the variable x.
The first step is to get rid of the constant term (-5) on the left side of the equation. To do this, you need to add 5 to both sides of the equation.
The equation then becomes:
9x - 5 + 5 = 10 + 5
Simplifying both sides, the equation becomes:
9x = 15
Now, you can move on to solving for x by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x, which is 9:
(9x)/9 = 15/9
Simplifying further, the equation becomes:
x = 15/9
So, the solution to the equation 9x - 5 = 10 is x = 15/9.
