To solve the equation, we can first simplify the left side of the equation by dividing 2 by 6:
2/6 x + 10 = -9
1/3 x + 10 = -9
Next, we can isolate the x term by subtracting 10 from both sides:
1/3 x + 10 - 10 = -9 - 10
1/3 x = -19
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
3 * (1/3 x) = -19 * 3
x = -57
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -57.
2/6 x + 10 = -9
1/3 x + 10 = -9
Next, we can isolate the x term by subtracting 10 from both sides:
1/3 x + 10 - 10 = -9 - 10
1/3 x = -19
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
3 * (1/3 x) = -19 * 3
x = -57
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -57.

To solve the equation, we can first simplify the left side of the equation by dividing 2 by 9:
2/9 x + 10 = -9
Next, we can isolate the x term by subtracting 10 from both sides:
2/9 x = -9 - 10
2/9 x = -19
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 9/2 (which is the reciprocal of 2/9):
(9/2) * (2/9 x) = -19 * (9/2)
x = -19 * (9/2)
x = -171/2
Thus, the solution to the equation is x = -171/2, or -85.5.
2/9 x + 10 = -9
Next, we can isolate the x term by subtracting 10 from both sides:
2/9 x = -9 - 10
2/9 x = -19
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 9/2 (which is the reciprocal of 2/9):
(9/2) * (2/9 x) = -19 * (9/2)
x = -19 * (9/2)
x = -171/2
Thus, the solution to the equation is x = -171/2, or -85.5.
