Solve the following equation for x: 9x-4=-67

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 9x - 4 = -67 \), follow these steps:

  1. Add 4 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \( x \):

    \[ 9x - 4 + 4 = -67 + 4 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 9x = -63 \]

  2. Next, divide both sides by 9 to solve for \( x \):

    \[ x = \frac{-63}{9} \]

    Simplifying the fraction gives:

    \[ x = -7 \]

Thus, the solution is:

\[ \boxed{-7} \]
