-22-x/9=-19

1 answer

To solve the equation, we can start by isolating the variable x.

We have:
-22 - x/9 = -19

First, let's multiply both sides of the equation by 9 to get rid of the fraction:

9(-22 - x/9) = 9(-19)

Simplifying, we get:
-198 - x = -171

Next, let's move the constant term (-198) to the other side of the equation:

- x = -171 + 198

Simplifying further, we have:
- x = 27

To solve for x, we multiply both sides of the equation by -1:

x = -27

Therefore, the solution to the equation -22 - x/9 = -19 is x = -27.
