2x+8=x+10x
Combine x and 1x to get 2x.
2x+8=11x
Combine x and 10x to get 11x.
2x+8-11x=0
Subtract 11x from both sides.
-9x+8=0
Combine 2x and -11x to get -9x.
-9x=-8
Subtract 8 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-8}{-9}
Divide both sides by -9.
x=\frac{8}{9}
Fraction \frac{-8}{-9} can be simplified to \frac{8}{9} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
