Answer 2

alright
algebra

1. you can do anything to the equation (except divide by zero) as long as you do it to both sides
2. property of equality a=a seems basic, but it's powerful

9x+8=-1
subtract 8 from both sides
9x+8-8=-1-8
9x+0=-9
9x=-9
divide both sides by 9
x=-9/9
neagive divided by a positve=ngative
x=-1

tada
x=-1
