x/9=1 (remember for later algebra, capitalization means there are 2 variables; just an FYI; ex. A/a are different variables)
I digress, x/9=1, to eliminate the x we must remove the nearest non-variable first(9) to do that, we do the opposite of the task the equation requests, this one requests we divide x by 9. multiple 9 on both sides to remove it.
x/9=1
x9 x9
x=9
