Answer:

x=0

Explanation:

First you would distribute -8 to the x and 9 to get -8x-72

Then you would put that into the rest of the equation for -8x - 72 + 6 = -66

Then you combine like terms and get -8x - 66 = -66

Then add 66 to both sides and get -8x = 0

Then divide both sides by -8 and 0 divided by -8 is 0
