Answer:
5
Explanation:
Simplifying
(8x + 9) + -1(6x + -1) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(9 + 8x) + -1(6x + -1) = 0
Remove parenthesis around (9 + 8x)
9 + 8x + -1(6x + -1) = 0
Reorder the terms:
9 + 8x + -1(-1 + 6x) = 0
9 + 8x + (-1 * -1 + 6x * -1) = 0
9 + 8x + (1 + -6x) = 0
Reorder the terms:
9 + 1 + 8x + -6x = 0
Combine like terms: 9 + 1 = 10
10 + 8x + -6x = 0
Combine like terms: 8x + -6x = 2x
10 + 2x = 0
Solving
10 + 2x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + 2x = 0 + -10
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 2x = 0 + -10
2x = 0 + -10
Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
2x = -10
Divide each side by '2'.
x = -5
Simplifying
x = -5
