[tex]x-(-8\cdot x)=x+7\\\\x-(-8x)=x+7\\\\x+8x=x+7\\\\9x=x+7\\\\9x-x=x+7-x\\\\8x=7\\\\8x:8=7:8\\\\x=\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

You have said that  [  x - (-8x) = x + 7  ] .

Note that  [ - (-8x) ] = 8x

So the equation may be written as  [  x + 8x = x + 7  ] .

Add up the 'x's on the left side:            9x = x + 7

Subtract 'x' from each side:                  8x = 7

Divide each side by 8 :                        x = 7/8
