Answer 1

x = 18

Explanation:

Given equation:

-108 = 54 - 9x

Begin by subtracting 54 on each side.

-108 - 54 = -9x

-162 = -9x

Next, divide each side by -9.

18 = x

Whereupon we conclude that the answer is 18.

Answer 2

18

Explanation:

-108 = 54 - 9x

• Transfer like terms to the same side of the equation.

-108 - 54 = -9x

• Subtract expression.

-162 = -9x

• Since both sides are negative we can write it as positive expressions.

162 = 9x

• Divide both sides by 9.

18 = x
