\bf Step-by-step~explanation:

To solve for x, we have to isolate the variable.


\bf Our~formula: x+2-9=36x


\bf Step~1:

Let's subtract x from both sides to cancel x from the left.


\bf x(-x)+2-9=36x(-x)\\2-9=35x


\bf Step~2:

Them simplify 2-9, which is equal to -7.


\bf -7=35x


\bf Step~3:

Divide both sides by 35 to isolate x.


\bf (-7)/(35) =-(1)/(5)


\bf (35x)/(35)=x


\large\boxed {\bf Our~final~answer: x=-(1)/(5)}
