(x) -

+ (x) = ?
First:

↑
(Simplify, that fraction for Step )
Second:

(x) -

= ?
Third: x = whatever this equals →

Fourth:

Fifth:

(x) -

= ?
Sixth:

↑
(We have to simplify the fraction for Step 6)
Seventh:

(5)
Eighth: -x - 9 = ?
Ninth: -x = 9
For step number 9 we would have to add the number 9 from each of your sides.
For step number 9 again we have to multiply from the equation with the number -1 and attach x = -9 with it
Finally we get to your result!
x = -9
So, from the looks of it, it looks like option C. -9 would be your answer to this question
