x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x + 1 = -x + 17

To solve this equation

Note if there is more than one variable like x, y, or z

Also note the power of the variables, for example, x^2 or y^3

In this equation, there is only one variable which is x and it's also in the power of 1 ie x

Step 1 : rearrange according to like terms

-9x + x = 17 - 1

( don't forget that the sign always change on crossing an equals to, either + to - or - to +

-9x + x (also means 9 - 1 but only carries a negative sign)

= - 8x = 16

Dividing both sides by -8 to get the value of x

-8x / 8 = 16 /- 8

x = 16/ -8

x = -2
