Sure, let's solve the equation step-by-step:
Given the equation:
[tex]\[ x + 8 = 9 \][/tex]
Our goal is to solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]. To do this, we'll isolate [tex]\( x \)[/tex] on one side of the equation. Here are the steps:
1. Start with the given equation:
[tex]\[ x + 8 = 9 \][/tex]
2. To isolate [tex]\( x \)[/tex], subtract 8 from both sides of the equation. This will help us move the constant term (8) to the right side:
[tex]\[ x + 8 - 8 = 9 - 8 \][/tex]
3. Simplify both sides of the equation. On the left side, [tex]\( +8 \)[/tex] and [tex]\(-8\)[/tex] cancel each other out, leaving us with:
[tex]\[ x = 1 \][/tex]
So, the value of [tex]\( x \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ x = 1 \][/tex]
