Answer:
x = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
6 - 2/9x = 8
Subtract 6 from each side
6-6 - 2/9x = 8-6
-2/9 x = 2
Multiply each side by -9/2 to isolate x
-9/2 * -2/9x = 2*-9/2
[tex]x = - 9[/tex]
[tex]6 - \frac{2}{9} x = 8 \\ - \frac{2}{9} x = 8 - 6 \\ - \frac{2}{9} x = 2 \\ - 2x = 2 \times 9 \\ - 2x = 18 \\ \frac{ - 2x}{ - 2} = \frac{18}{ - 2} \\ x = - 9[/tex]
