Question

1 - 10x = 81
Value of X?

Answer 1

-8

Explanation:

1. Subtract 1 from each side of the equation ---> -10x = 80

2. Divide each side of the equation by -10 ----> x= -8

Then you get your answer of -8

Answer 2

x = -8

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 1 from both sides

`1 - 10x - 1 = 81 - 1 \\ - 10x = 80`

Divide both sides of the equation by -10

`( - 10x)/( - 10) = (80)/( - 10) \\ \\ x = - 8`
