8(x-9)-9(x-8)=x+2-(x-6)

Solution for 8(x-9)-9(x-8)=x+2-(x-6) equation:

Simplifying
8(x + -9) + -9(x + -8) = x + 2 + -1(x + -6)

Reorder the terms:
8(-9 + x) + -9(x + -8) = x + 2 + -1(x + -6)
(-9 * 8 + x * 8) + -9(x + -8) = x + 2 + -1(x + -6)
(-72 + 8x) + -9(x + -8) = x + 2 + -1(x + -6)

Reorder the terms:
-72 + 8x + -9(-8 + x) = x + 2 + -1(x + -6)
-72 + 8x + (-8 * -9 + x * -9) = x + 2 + -1(x + -6)
-72 + 8x + (72 + -9x) = x + 2 + -1(x + -6)

Reorder the terms:
-72 + 72 + 8x + -9x = x + 2 + -1(x + -6)

Combine like terms: -72 + 72 = 0
0 + 8x + -9x = x + 2 + -1(x + -6)
8x + -9x = x + 2 + -1(x + -6)

Combine like terms: 8x + -9x = -1x
-1x = x + 2 + -1(x + -6)

Reorder the terms:
-1x = x + 2 + -1(-6 + x)
-1x = x + 2 + (-6 * -1 + x * -1)
-1x = x + 2 + (6 + -1x)

Reorder the terms:
-1x = 2 + 6 + x + -1x

Combine like terms: 2 + 6 = 8
-1x = 8 + x + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
-1x = 8 + 0
-1x = 8

Solving
-1x = 8

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
