Subtract \(7x\) from both sides.
\[x-7x=\frac{8}{9}\]
Simplify \(x-7x\) to \(-6x\).
\[-6x=\frac{8}{9}\]
Divide both sides by \(-6\).
\[x=-\frac{\frac{8}{9}}{6}\]
Simplify \(\frac{\frac{8}{9}}{6}\) to \(\frac{8}{9\times 6}\).
\[x=-\frac{8}{9\times 6}\]
Simplify \(9\times 6\) to \(54\).
\[x=-\frac{8}{54}\]
Simplify \(\frac{8}{54}\) to \(\frac{4}{27}\).
\[x=-\frac{4}{27}\]
