1. solve the equation.

x - 9 = - 15

Explanation:

Step1: Solve the equation \(x - 9=-15\)

Add \(9\) to both sides of the equation.
\(x-9 + 9=-15 + 9\)

Step2: Simplify both sides

On the left - hand side, \(-9 + 9 = 0\), so \(x=-15 + 9\).
On the right - hand side, \(-15+9=-6\).

Answer:

\(x=-6\)
