Answer: x=7
Solution:
Writing out the problem,
6-6x=5x-9x-8
Solve for "5x-9x," which is -4x,
6-6x=-4x-8
Add 4x to both sides
6-6x+4x=-4x+4x-8
Since -6x+4x=-2x and of course -4x+4x=0
-2x+6=-8.
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation,
-2x+6-6=-8-6.
Since 6-6=0 and -8-6=-14,
-2x=-14
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by -2,
-2x/-2=-14/-2
-2x/-2=x
-14/-2=7
So, therefore x=7.
x=7
Hope this helps :)
