Given the equation: 9-10x = 2+1-8

Solve first the numbers that do not the variable x on the right side of the equation.

9-10x=2+1-8

9-10x=-5

Transpose -10x on the other side of the equation to make it positive, same goes with -5

9+5=10x

14=10x

Solve for the value of x by dividing both sides by 10.

x=1.4
