Question

9 - 10x = 2x + 1 - 8x

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$9 - 10x = 2x + 1 - 8x$

$9-10x=-6x+1$

Subtract 9 from both sides:

$9-10x-9=-6x+1-9$

$-10x=-6x-8$

Add 6x to both sides:

$-10x+6x=-6x-8+6x$

$-4x=-8$

Divide both sides by -4:

$\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{-8}{-4}$

$x=2$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

9-10x = 2x+1-8x

1. move all like terms to one side

-10x-2x+8x = -9+1

2. simplify

-4x = -8

3. divide the -4 from both sides of the equation

x= -8/-4

4. x=2
