7x-8=72x+90
Multiply both sides of the equation by 9.
7x-8-72x=90
Subtract 72x from both sides.
-65x-8=90
Combine 7x and -72x to get -65x.
-65x=90+8
Add 8 to both sides.
-65x=98
Add 90 and 8 to get 98.
x=\frac{98}{-65}
Divide both sides by -65.
x=-\frac{98}{65}
Fraction \frac{98}{-65} can be rewritten as -\frac{98}{65} by extracting the negative sign.
