(4/5)x+10=(9/(10))x  10=((9/(10))−(4/5))x=(((9−8)/(10)))x=(1/(10))x  x=100

$$\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}{x}+\mathrm{10}=\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{10}}{x} \\ $$$$\mathrm{10}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{10}}−\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}\right){x}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{9}−\mathrm{8}}{\mathrm{10}}\right){x}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{10}}{x} \\ $$$${x}=\mathrm{100} \\ $$
