9=0.009\left(x+9\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -9 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+9.
9=0.009x+0.081
Use the distributive property to multiply 0.009 by x+9.
0.009x+0.081=9
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
0.009x=9-0.081
Subtract 0.081 from both sides.
0.009x=8.919
Subtract 0.081 from 9 to get 8.919.
x=\frac{8.919}{0.009}
Divide both sides by 0.009.
x=\frac{8919}{9}
Expand \frac{8.919}{0.009} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.
x=991
Divide 8919 by 9 to get 991.
