Question

8x + 1 = -8 - X
What is X?

Answer 1

Answer:

X = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

• Add x to both sides.
• 8x + 1 + x = -8
• Combine 8x and x to get 9x.
• 9x + 1 = -8
• Subtract 1 from both sides
• 9x = -9
• Divide both sides by 9
• x = -9/9
• x = -1

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+1=−8−x

8x+1=−8+−x

8x+1=−x−8

8x+1+x=−x−8+x

9x+1=−8

9x+1−1=−8−1

9x=−9

9x9=−99

x=−1
