Solve for the unknown by using the additive inverse. Type the FULL answer in the box, without using any spaces (ex., X=5).

10X - 8 = 9X + 8

X=16

Step-by-step explanation:

10x-8=9x+8

First you have to simplify.

10x-9x=1x

So now the equation looks like this

x-8=8

Now you have to get x by itself

-8+8=0 and we have to do the same thing on both sides of the equal sign 8+8=16

The equation now looks like this x=16

And that's your answer
