9+4x-8=8x
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x-2.
1+4x=8x
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
1+4x-8x=0
Subtract 8x from both sides.
1-4x=0
Combine 4x and -8x to get -4x.
-4x=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-1}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{1}{4}
Fraction \frac{-1}{-4} can be simplified to \frac{1}{4} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
