Answer:

Simplifying

x = 9

Explanation:

Simplifying

9x + -1 = 80

Reorder the terms:

-1 + 9x = 80

Solving

-1 + 9x = 80

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.

-1 + 1 + 9x = 80 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0

0 + 9x = 80 + 1

9x = 80 + 1

Combine like terms: 80 + 1 = 81

9x = 81

Divide each side by '9'.

x = 9
