Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

$\boxed{x=9}$

Here’s why:  

• We would have to use inverse operations to solve the equation.

$\boxed{\text{Solving the Equation for 'x':}}\\\\-9x+1=-80\\---------\\\rightarrow -9x+1-1=-80-1\\\\\rightarrow -9x=-81\\\\\rightarrow\frac{-9x=-81}{-9}\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{x=9}$

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.  

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you would subtract 1 from 80 and get -9x = -81 then you can just divide -81 by -9 or 9 from 81, either way, you'll have x = 9
