9\left(-x+1\right)=zx
Variable x cannot be equal to 1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -x+1.
-9x+9=zx
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by -x+1.
-9x+9-zx=0
Subtract zx from both sides.
-9x-zx=-9
Subtract 9 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(-9-z\right)x=-9
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(-z-9\right)x=-9
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-z-9\right)x}{-z-9}=-\frac{9}{-z-9}
Divide both sides by -9-z.
x=-\frac{9}{-z-9}
Dividing by -9-z undoes the multiplication by -9-z.
x=\frac{9}{z+9}
Divide -9 by -9-z.
x=\frac{9}{z+9}\text{, }x\neq 1
Variable x cannot be equal to 1.
9\left(-x+1\right)=zx
Multiply both sides of the equation by -x+1.
-9x+9=zx
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by -x+1.
zx=-9x+9
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
xz=9-9x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xz}{x}=\frac{9-9x}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
z=\frac{9-9x}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
z=-9+\frac{9}{x}
Divide -9x+9 by x.
