Question

Negative 9x plus 1 = negative 80

Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

`\boxed{x=9}`

Here’s why:

• We would have to use inverse operations to solve the equation.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Solving the Equation for 'x':}}\\\\-9x+1=-80\\---------\\\rightarrow -9x+1-1=-80-1\\\\\rightarrow -9x=-81\\\\\rightarrow(-9x=-81)/(-9)\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{x=9}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

Answer 2

x = 9

Explanation:

first, you would subtract 1 from 80 and get -9x = -81 then you can just divide -81 by -9 or 9 from 81, either way, you'll have x = 9
