9x=-10

Divide by 9 from both sides of equation.

9x/9=-10/9

Simplify, to find the answer.

x=-10/9

x=-1 is the correct answer.

I hope this helps you, and have a wonderful day!

Answer 2

x = -1.11111111111111(repeating)

Explanation:

9x - 1 = -11

Add 1 to each side

9x - 1+1 = -11+1

9x = -10

Divide each side by 9

9x/9 = -10/9

x = -10/9

x = -1.11111111111111(repeating)
