∑ Hey, microhiezv ⊃

Answer:

x = 18/7 - Fraction Form

x = 2.57 - Decimal Form

Explanation:

Given Info:


8x - 9 = x + 9

Solve:


8x - 9 = x + 9

Adding 9 to both sides:


8x-9+9=x+9+9


8x=x+18

Subtract x from both sides:


8x-x=x+18-x


7x=18

Divide 7x from both sides:


(7x)/(7)=(18)/(7)


\mathrm{x=(18)/(7)\;or\;2.57\;as\;a\;decimal}
