\frac{8}{9}x-\left(x-405\right)=9
Combine x and -\frac{1}{9}x to get \frac{8}{9}x.
\frac{8}{9}x-x-\left(-405\right)=9
To find the opposite of x-405, find the opposite of each term.
\frac{8}{9}x-x+405=9
The opposite of -405 is 405.
-\frac{1}{9}x+405=9
Combine \frac{8}{9}x and -x to get -\frac{1}{9}x.
-\frac{1}{9}x=9-405
Subtract 405 from both sides.
-\frac{1}{9}x=-396
Subtract 405 from 9 to get -396.
x=-396\left(-9\right)
Multiply both sides by -9, the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{9}.
x=3564
Multiply -396 and -9 to get 3564.
