Hi, 
-9(x-9)=2(2-x)-2
removing the parenthesis by applying the distributive principle
-9x + 81 = 4 - 2x - 2
***isolating the variable x on one side of the equaton 
by performing operations on both sides of the equation
81 = 7x +2    adding 9x to both sides
79 = 7x       subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation
79/7 = x      dividing both sides by 7
