To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
First, let's start by moving all the terms involving x to one side of the equation.
-1.5x + 4 = -0.9x - 5
Add 0.9x to both sides:
-1.5x + 0.9x + 4 = -5
Now, combine like terms:
-0.6x + 4 = -5
Next, subtract 4 from both sides:
-0.6x = -9
Finally, divide by -0.6 to solve for x:
x = -9 / -0.6
x = 15
Therefore, the solution to the equation -1.5x + 4 = -0.9x - 5 is x = 15.
