Question
Solve the equation
x=−109
Alternative Form
x=−0.9
Evaluate
10x−10x×2−9=0
Simplify
More Steps

Evaluate
10x−10x×2−9
Multiply the terms
10x−20x−9
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
10x−20x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(10−20)x
Subtract the numbers
−10x
−10x−9
−10x−9=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−10x=0+9
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−10x=9
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
10x=−9
Divide both sides
1010x=10−9
Divide the numbers
x=10−9
Solution
x=−109
Alternative Form
x=−0.9
