solve for x.
62 = -1 - 9x
x =

Explanation:

Step1: Add 1 to both sides

To isolate the term with \( x \), we add 1 to both sides of the equation \( 62 = -1 - 9x \). This gives us \( 62 + 1 = -1 - 9x + 1 \), which simplifies to \( 63 = -9x \).

Step2: Divide both sides by -9

Now, we divide both sides of the equation \( 63 = -9x \) by -9 to solve for \( x \). So, \( \frac{63}{-9} = \frac{-9x}{-9} \), which simplifies to \( x = -7 \).

Answer:

\( x = -7 \)
