Answer:
[tex]x=2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]9 - 10x = 2x + 1 - 8x[/tex]
[tex]9-10x=-6x+1[/tex]
Subtract 9 from both sides:
[tex]9-10x-9=-6x+1-9[/tex]
[tex]-10x=-6x-8[/tex]
Add 6x to both sides:
[tex]-10x+6x=-6x-8+6x[/tex]
[tex]-4x=-8[/tex]
Divide both sides by -4:
[tex]\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{-8}{-4}[/tex]
[tex]x=2[/tex]
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
