9 - 8x = 35
subtract 9 from both sides
-8x = 26
divide both sides by -8
x= -26/8
you can simplify this to -13/4
Here we are given an equation:
9-8x=35
we need to isolate x on the left side.
bring 9 to the right side by subtracting it from 35
-8x =35-9
-8x =26
divide both sides by -8
x=26/(-8)
x=-3.25
