Kirsten Bryan · Answer 2

Simplifying

1 + - 10x = 81

Solving

1 + - 10x = 81

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.

1 + - 1 + - 10x = 81 + - 1

Combine like terms: 1 + - 1 = 0

0 + - 10x = 81 + - 1

-10x = 81 + - 1

Combine like terms: 81 + - 1 = 80

-10x = 80

Divide each side by '-10'.

x = - 8

Simplifying

x = - 8
