Question

plz help ill give you brainlist

Answer 1

9x - 37 = - 118

add 37 to both sides
9x - 37 + 37 = -118 + 37
simplify
9x = -81
divide both sides by 9
9x/9 = -81/9
simplify
x = - 9

answer
x = -9

Answer 2

To solve this, we want to get the x values alone on one side. We do this by adding both sides by 37, to cancel out the -37:

9x - 37 = -118      (add both sides by 37 to get only x on one side)  
9x = -81               (divide both sides by 9 to get what just x is)
x = -9
