VIII. \( 9 x-5=50 \)

To solve the equation \( 9x - 5 = 50 \), you can start by isolating \( x \). First, add 5 to both sides, resulting in \( 9x = 55 \). Then, divide both sides by 9 to find \( x = \frac{55}{9} \), which simplifies to approximately \( 6.11 \). Voila! You've unlocked the value of \( x \)! Now, if you want to check your work, simply plug \( x \) back into the original equation. Substitute \( x \) with \( \frac{55}{9} \) and see if both sides equal 50. It's a great habit to ensure you've nailed that solution!
