-10 = -1 -x

First, you can add x to both sides

-10 ( + x ) = -1 - x ( + x ) *The -x and +x would cancel each other out.

= -10 + x = -1

Then, you can add 10 on both sides.

= -10 (+10) +x = -1 (+10) *The -10 and +10 would cancel each other out.

Your final answer should be x = 9. I hope this was helpful :)

-10 = -1 - x

+ 1 = +1

-9 = -x


(-9)/(-1) =
(-x)/(-1)

9 = x

Answer: 9
