we have the equation
[tex]9\left(x-9\right)+8=-19[/tex]Solve for x
step 1
Apply distributive property on the left side
[tex]\begin{gathered} 9\left(x)-9(9\right)+8=-19 \\ 9x-81+8=-19 \end{gathered}[/tex]Combine similar terms on the left side
[tex]9x-73=-19[/tex]step 2
Adds 73 on both sides
[tex]\begin{gathered} 9x-73+73=-19+73 \\ simplify \\ 9x=54 \end{gathered}[/tex]step 3
Divide both sides by 9
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{9x}{9}=\frac{54}{9} \\ \\ x=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]
